Thunderbird snap showing ESR channel, but should be stable channel

snap

Hi!

I’m using Thunderbird snap from monthly/candidate channel, and in the initial page is being showed ESR Channel, but the version I’m using, 143, should be Stable Channel instead. Here is a screenshot:

Can we fix it in the snap or is it a problem that should be brought to upstream?

There was a discussion about this in

Sorry, I didn’t understand. I know the idea is to use latest for ESR, and monthly for the regular monthly updates, but how this affect that I’m using the monthly updates, the candidates, to be precise, but getting ESR Channel in the Thunderbird? Shouldn’t I get “Stable Channel” and the folks using latest get ESR Channel as I?

There was something about people not being automatically migrated in certain combinations in that discussion …

I understand. Should I remove and reinstall the Snap to check if it is fixed?

Hey, at the risk of souding stupid, where is “ESR channel” in that screen-shot?

Well spotted, but rest assured that really is not an ESR channel, might be an upstream bug; I’ll investigate.

Fix committed[1], will be displayed alright in the next release of the snap. Thanks for raising it.

How can I know if a revision has this change? The problem happened in the release 815, and I just update for 819 and still appears ESR channel. I don’t know, though, if revision 819 should get this change already.

That revision should have fixed it, but I can confirm it didn’t. I’m pushing another fix[1], hopefully this one will do. Just to be clear, only the branding is the problem; Even if it says ESR you are really running release 143.

Yes. I’m thinking about the current ESR and beta releases, will they show the correct value?

Update: revision 821 now show Release Channel.

I tested monthly/beta and latest/stable, and they show Beta Channel and ESR Channel, respectively, so it’s good, but I’m afraid that didn’t get this latest commit you made. But I don’t know if you use different branches for each version or something like that which could allow different values for each channel.

Yup, can confirm monthly/candidate correctly shows “Release” now, so I promoted that revision to monthly/stable.

I tested monthly/beta and latest/stable, and they show Beta Channel and ESR Channel, respectively, so it’s good, but I’m afraid that didn’t get this latest commit you made.

What do you mean? It’s correct now, monthly/beta should say “Beta”, monthly/{candidate,stable}, “Release”, and all latest/ channels should say “ESR”.

Sorry. I saw and you are using a branch for each type of release. So it’s ok now. Thanks.
