Thunderbird 131.0-1.1, -- Arch pulled it from its repos -- it is a TESTING release only
All, Devs I see Thunderbird 131.0-1.1 is scheduled to install on TW. Just a few days ago we had a thread on Arch where that package was pulled from the repository because it is a Mozilla Testing Only release and wasn't intended to be generally distributed. See thread "thunderbird 131.0 pulled from testing" on 10/2/2024. The Arch packager was a bit surprised too. Just thought I would pass this along in case the same packaging a "testing" vs "full release" needs to be dealt with hear as well. If you update, your profile will be modified, but here you can downgrade to 130.x and start thunderbird --allow-downgrade to undo the changes to your profile (and pray it works...) -- David C.

Can you please elaborate? I wouldn't know where this version should be coming from. I didn't put it into the devel project and I don't have it in mozilla. I'm working on releasing 128 within the next days but not at all 131. Did you confuse Thunderbird with Firefox maybe? Wolfgang

No, it is Thunderbird, and it has to due with Mozilla not releasing 131, but instead continuing to list 128.3 as the last stable release. Arch only packages stable releases, not experimental packages. So install Mozilla decides that 131 will be a stable release, Arch pulled that package back: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/thunderbird/-/issu... -- David C.

Sorry, I still don't get it. So where within openSUSE Tumbleweed you see Thunderbird 131 being offered? I wouldn't know from where. And there never was a plan to do so. Thunderbird is primarily only releasing official versions based on the Mozilla ESR sources, which means that TB go to 128 soon in Tumbleweed and will stay there for several months and only upgraded on the minor version level.

Sorry Wolfgang, That was on my zypper list update output from Main if I recall correctly. I currently have 115.15.0 (64-bit) installed and am tracking Tumbleweed main. The 131.x version would have shown up as a new version in that list which is what prompted my original post. I've rebooted since then, so my konsole scrollback is gone, but the "Thunderbird 131.0-1.1" was a select/middle-mouse-paste from that list into the first e-mail of this thread. Maybe that is just an offered package in TW, but not part of the main branch. When I do list updates now, it however, is no longer shown as available. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hello Wolfgang, we got this at the office with Mac users, who are mostly helpless now ;) <https://www.pcworld.com/article/2478480/thunderbird-gets-a-new-release-channel-with-monthly-feature-updates.html> Our endpoint support team decided to go to the ESR channel now. Werner --

Thanks for the pointer. Since I'm still about to catch up to 128 I didn't think about switching to the monthly releases. So I was/would be surprised if it showed up somewhere. Wolfgang
