Please bottom-post in this forum, thanks.
Weird, since there is no later release. What happens if you click the
"Check for Updates" button?
Not particularly weird - with automatic update checks disabled,
SeaMonkey wouldn't know that there's no later release. From Bug 581319
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581319> it looks like you
get that warning if automatic updates are disabled and no update has
been installed (or at least haven't checked for updates) for more than
90 days, on the assumption that a new version will have been released
well before that time.
Manually checking for updates might reset the timer; from the
description in Bug 581319 it looks like there wasn't any way to know
when the last manual check was, but it may have been added since then.
You might be able to avoid the warning by enabling "automatically check
for updates" but disabling "automatically download and install the
update", although I guess you want to avoid the end user seeing the
prompt to update when one is available.
Comment 1 in Bug 581319 mentions a preference setting to override the
warning. Looking at the patch is looks like creating a boolean pref
"app.updatecheck.override" set to true should do that. No idea whether
that might have been changed or removed since, but may be worth trying.
Don't forget to regularly check for and install updates manually, of course!
Alternatively you might be able to postpone the warning by manually
updating app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer. If you check
for updates on one machine, you could always copy the resulting value
into the others to get a realistic value, rather than just arbitrarily
increasing it. That way you'd still be warned if you forgot to check for
90 days ;o)
Mark.
