We should probably disable auto-update for platforms we don't support it on or
something....  Completely destroying the installation like this is sorta bad.

Oof. Server-side or client-side?

Comment 3

[Wolf [:wolf]]

Probably client. Ben would know for sure.

If we're planning to push out 1.0.1 via UMO, we need to resolve this one way or
another (disable UMO for non-linux/windows/mac builds, or fix UMO).

OK, I'll bite. blocking 1.0.1 UMO roll-out. Ben's probably not the right assignee

As far as I know, we're not updating anything but Windows from umo's app update
service this first round (scheduled for next week.)

Is this how we work in the new world? Sounds like this shouldn't be a problem.

This bug is fixed by the new software update system.
