IRC channel: #Thunderbird
Chase Phillips - Aug 25 2005 wrote:Software update channel patches are in!
Earlier this evening I landed the patches in bug 302721. This work is the result of much effort by the software update team -- Darin Fisher, Ben Goodger, Mike Morgan, and myself with reviews by Brian Ryner and Benjamin Smedberg. It adds the capability for Firefox and Thunderbird to send channel data along with the rest of the app's information to AUS, the Application Update Server.
What channels will we eventually have? Time will tell. For now, AUS recognizes two channels: default and nightly. When a build is created and --enable-update-channel isn't set in mozconfig the 'default' channel is selected. The trunk and Mozilla 1.8 release build systems all embed the 'nightly' channel. The default channel gets no updates from AUS while the nightly channel gets the latest nightly build. Firefox 1.5 beta will be released with a channel that will let AUS limit the updates downloaders of those builds get to beta quality or better through the 1.5 cycle.
In case you want to disable software update for a nightly build that you've downloaded, follow these steps:
1. Go to Tools -> Options.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Click the Update tab.
4. Under "When updates to Deer Park are found" click "Ask me what I want to do".
Want to find out when our testing begins on a bigger scale? Head over to the QA blog to get info on how to sign-up for the software update beta testing mailing list.
set app.update.url to [url=https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/1/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/update.xml]'Current Update Address'[/url]
Warning, do not use trunk and branch nightly builds with the same profile !

Fixes for Core (Mailnews), Toolkit and Thunderbird are included
If you find problems/bugs:
- Post them in this thread
- Properly describe the problem
- Include the url where you have the problem (if this is the case)
- copy your useragent+buildtime to clipboard, use the Nightly Tester Tools
- Installer build or .zip version?
- Does a new profile fix the problem?

This makes it a lot easier for others to duplicate your problem.
