Description Angelo Naselli 2014-10-23 21:59:49 CEST

Today Thunderbird rose a popup dialog saying:

"This version of the provider has expired. Please update to the latest version."

I got the same error also using tb in windows, but after updating lightning to 3.3.1 seemed to disappear.

Reproducible:

hmm investigating a bit i was able to enable google calendar again.
while it seemed to be disabled and with no way to make it enabled, using the property dialog of the calendar allowed me to enable it again.
After that a popup dialog asking the password rose and i got my calendar back.

If i can do that tomorrow also at office pc, i will close it as invalid.

To be honest I've no clue about that plugin/provider. Maybe just the maximum version of that plugin needs a sync to current firefox version ...

Check e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility but that shouldn't be an issue anymore after https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Add-ons/Add-ons_Default_to_Compatible

But who knows? Best ask upstream.

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2014-10-24 23:09:36 CEST

btw, anyone which needs this as an rpm ? (it's still in mga5)

Comment 6 Florian Hubold 2014-10-24 23:22:13 CEST

You mean lightning? I'd drop it, because when you use the upstream plugin you would also receive automatic updates. And there's no maintainer for lightning.

Comment 7 Manuel Hiebel 2014-10-24 23:31:21 CEST

yes lightning (like other extensions if there are, didn't check)

Comment 8 Angelo Naselli 2014-10-25 12:21:02 CEST

Well I'm not really sure the problem i reported is due to lightning...
The workaround i wrote on comment#2 seems to solve the problem i had also for
old version on mga4.

I don't know if it is really needed to have lightning packaged, or it is better
to have it as any other external plugins. Certainly it is a package less to maintain if it just works as any other plugins :)

I'll close this report if you have no objections.
