701995 - Thunderbird "channel" page (for Earlybird / Beta downloads) has stale links, after this past week's channel migration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Thunderbird, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

On this page
  http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/channel
the Earlybird button points to
> http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-earlybird/thunderbird-9.0a2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
which is a 404, because the actual "latest-earlybird" directory contains 10.0a2 builds now (not 9.0a2), after this past week's thunderbird migration.

Similarly, the beta link on that page points to a version 8.0 build when it should point to a version 9.0 build.

Thanks, I must start setting reminders to make sure this is done. Fixed in r97701/r97702.

We haven't released a 9.0 beta yet due to taking a bit to fix some issues on beta, so this part isn't valid, we'll update it when we release.
