@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat Oh, I forgot to keep updating thunderbird-esr 😞 I was kind-of relying on the bot creating PRs and pinging me, but a couple months ago it stopped. last update 06:29:06
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat

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:matrix.orgvcunatActually, what do we generally do about 140 ESR versions on NixOS 26.05?07:37:25
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatThey will just die during its support time? Mozilla plans the EOL at September/October: https://whattrainisitnow.com/calendar/07:38:16
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat* Actually, what do we generally do about 140 ESR versions on stable NixOS 26.05?07:38:49
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpApparently 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&regexp=false https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204219709:35:49
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpThe 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:matrix.orgvcunatCompany? Is that really suitable for a community distro default?09:55:02
@k900:0upti.meK900 It's the only way to disable update checks 09:55:24
@k900:0upti.meK900Well, was, apparently09:55:26
@k900:0upti.meK900But yeah the actual intended use case is corp policy09:55:36
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat🤔 setting Firefox config other than by clicking... right, I guess.09:57:40
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunat* 🤔 setting Firefox config other than by clicking... right, I guess, makes sense.09:58:25
@k900:0upti.meK900OK so I just tried doing it the most basic way possible10:15:46
@k900:0upti.meK900And it works10:15:55
