308003 - VersionCheck.php returns wrong maxVersion info

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308691

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Jens Bannmann]

Using the developer control panel, I changed the Firefox maxVersion for Paste
and Go to 1.6a1. The database was updated successfully, as
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=65&application=firefox
shows ("Requires: Firefox: 0.8 - 1.6a1"). However,
https://addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=1&id={333670ee-d9e7-47be-83aa-d67bba8d4266}&version=0.4.1&maxAppVersion=1.0&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=1.4&appOS=WINNT&appABI=x86-msvc
still reports the maxVersion to be 1.0+.

This is a highly critical issue because users won't be able to install the
extension unless I upload a new XPI with a patched install.rdf, making the whole
concept of compatibility updates useless.

Probably caused by bug 304857, bug 292138, or bug 284025

Note that changing the maxVersion to 1.4 (Firefox 1.5 Beta 1) does not change
anything; VersionCheck still reports 1.0+.

are there any news that this bug will be fixed soon? many users cry for a ff and
tb release of themes and can't download it from here. this bug is very
important! the next time you should check if the site works with a new version
release.

URL appears to be correct for me...

May also have been attributed to bug 308691, where the Shadow DB was slightly
(or a lot ;)) behind the master - VersionCheck now uses the Shadow DB I believe.

Everything's fine again. I tested changing another extension's maxVersion, and
VersionCheck instantly adapted.

It seems the stopped replication process (see bug 308691 comment 4) was the
cause for this bug. Resolving.
