 vcunat | Ah, of course it wouldn't build without fixups. That's why.
error: failed to calculate checksum of: /build/thunderbird-140.11.1/comm/third_party/rust/minimal-lexical/.gitmodules
So this issue propagated into ESR updates as well.

| vcunat | Actually, what do we generally do about 140 ESR versions on NixOS 26.05? | 07:37:25 |
| vcunat | They will just die during its support time? Mozilla plans the EOL at September/October: https://whattrainisitnow.com/calendar/ | 07:38:16 |

 nbp | Apparently we should not use the policy file to disable updates, but create a file named is-packaged-app:
https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/search?q=is-packaged-app&path=&case=false®exp=false
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2042197 | 09:35:49 |
| nbp | The presence of the policy file implies that you are a company, and then we apparently have different set of defaults, such as the disabled WebSerial API. | 09:51:45 |
| vcunat | Company? Is that really suitable for a community distro default? | 09:55:02 |
 K900 ⚡️ | It's the only way to disable update checks | 09:55:24 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Well, was, apparently | 09:55:26 |
| K900 ⚡️ | But yeah the actual intended use case is corp policy | 09:55:36 |
| vcunat | 🤔 setting Firefox config other than by clicking... right, I guess. | 09:57:40 |
| vcunat | * 🤔 setting Firefox config other than by clicking... right, I guess, makes sense. | 09:58:25 |
| K900 ⚡️ | OK so I just tried doing it the most basic way possible | 10:15:46 |
| K900 ⚡️ | And it works | 10:15:55 |

 hexa | cool! | 13:13:32 |
 whispers [& it/fae] | oh huh, i wonder if this'll fix the "this browser is managed by your organization" some folks i know have been confused about (at least if they're not using anything else that sets policies). that'll be nice. | 13:30:22 |
| K900 ⚡️ | It does | 13:30:49 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | yay | 13:31:32 |
| hexa | same as firefox … at some point introduce the new esr version and and some later point throw on the old | 13:59:35 |
| hexa | in the meantime migrate thunderbird-esr from old to new esr | 13:59:44 |
| vcunat | Yes, I asked about Firefox mainly. | 13:59:59 |
| hexa | that's what I have been doing for years now | 14:00:10 |
| hexa | iirc 153 will be ESR | 14:00:21 |
| hexa | so around july 20th | 14:01:01 |
| hexa | linking thunderbird has become annoying | 15:41:33 |
