716316 - Lightning 1.1.1 builds on the ftp server differ from files hosted via AMO

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

[Hugo Osvaldo Barrera]

The XPI at the FTP url is incompatible with thunderbird 9.0.1 (it's max version is 9.0).

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/1.1.1/linux/lightning.xpi

I tried editing install.rdf, but CalDAV calendars won't update after installing lightning if I do this. (is this a separate bug maybe?)

I'm a maintainer for the lightning package/port for arch-linux, so having the XPI in the ftp server working really matters.

The fix in Lightning 1.1.1 is only required for some Windows XP users. Linux users can stay with Lightning 1.1. But if required you can download a version that works with Thunderbird 9.* from <https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/lightning/versions/1.1.1> or <ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/2313/>

Do you see any errors in Error Console?

I'm copying all errors and warnings, though I'm not totally sure if all of them are relevant to lightning:

The server is a CalDAV server (radicale), and actually accessing the URL via HTTP GET provides a valid vCalendar file. The calendar is actually private, so the actual provided URL won't work, I can set up a public one if you'd like.

Looking at the error message, it seems the URL you are using is wrong. It does seem like Lighting is no longer incompatible. Could you doublecheck the URL?

[Hugo Osvaldo Barrera]

I'm really sorry, yes, I actually DID screw up on my part as far as the calendars goes. My bad.

Just to close up, what's the difference between
lightning-1.1.1-tb+sm-linux.xpi (in mozilla addons) and lightning.xpi on the FTP server? And why is one incompatible with 9.0.1 and not the other?
(as a packager for a linux distribution, usage of the FTP URL is generally just faster to keep the package up-to-date).

Well, thats rather an issue on our side. Right now one of the little manual steps needed is to change the maxVersion, see bug 688719. It seems I didn't change this on the ftp server, but only locally before uploading to AMO.

I have changed this on the server, so I'm marking this bug fixed. Thanks for the note!
