I forked the ESR version into thunderbird-esr-bin.

Upstream (compiled) version is thunderbird 128.2.1, I'm opting to downgrade to this version..

Though there is already a version 128.2.3esr https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/128.2.3esr/

.. so downgrade to 128.2.3esr

Ideas? :-)

Last time I checked, 128 was ESR, 129 stable and 131 beta. So the package should be maybe split into thunderbird-esr-bin, thunderbird-bin, thunderbird-beta-bin.

thunderbird-beta-bin exists and is on 131.0b3-1, that sounds about right. thunderbird-bin is now on 130 and should be on 129 (stable). thunderbird-esr-bin doesn't exist yet and should stick to 128.

The problem is, every time I downgrade, it gets upgraded again. So we need some common view on the release schema of Thunderbird. :-)

Side-node: if 129 is a release not for the public, why are they releasing it. This is more than confusing.

I want to pop up @rokku comment. Current stable release is 128.2.0esr. Versions: 129, 130 and 131 are still beta. @bittin please downgrade the package. Check: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/

Something is strange. In the about dialog of thunderbird it says: "Thunderbird Beta is up to date" - Is this a beta version?

I have tested further. If I download thunderbird from the sources link of your PKGBUILD and start it with a fresh profile i get the following message:

"This is an unsupported version of Thunderbird!! Thunderbird monthly releases are not considered stable for general use. Use at your own risk, this build is the same quality as Thunderbird Beta."

The result is, that some of my extensions do not work because they give me the notice: This extension does not work with thunderbird 129 beta.

Could you please check this?

Update: On Reddit an official Thunderbird Employee states that tb 129 is not a release: https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1em7wb5/comment/lh14suo

So this is a beta version not 129 stable. It is the same issue as with 125 earlier this year. please roll back to latest 128 version of tb

Aha, so 128ESR, 129 current release, 130 is beta. ok. Got a little bit confused about the Thunderbird team switching to a Firefox-like release cycle. :-)

bittin commented on 2024-08-08 07:37 (UTC)

@andreas_baumann:nope the Beta version is now 130

andreas_baumann commented on 2024-08-08 07:31 (UTC) (edited on 2024-08-08 07:39 (UTC) by andreas_baumann)

Isn't 129 the beta version?
