Hello all,
I am trying to set up an thunderbird auto-update server as described
here: http://wiki.sogo.nu/TB-upgrade-service but I am running into a
roadblock. If I preform a clean install of TB 17.0esr and then using
about:config to set the app.update.url.override to my update server then
when I go to Help->About Thunderbird it downloads the update (17.0.2)
and prompts me to install it. So far, so good. However, if I perform a
clean install of TB, install the sogo-integrator and restart then all of
my addons are installed and/or updated but thunderbird will not update.
If I go to about:config I can see that the integrator has populated
app.update.url.override with the correct address but TB keeps telling me
that it is up to date. Whenever I go Help->About Thunderbird I can see
in the apache logs that TB is contacting the server and requesting the
correct URL, but no matter what I try TB just keeps telling me that it
is up to date. Why does it work when the integrator is not installed but
not when it is?
Here are the contents of site.js from my custom sogo-integrator.xpi
pref("app.update.auto", true);
pref("app.update.enabled", true);
pref("app.update.url.override",
"http://srvlinuxnu.dmzhol.sc-intra.local/thunderbird/main/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml";);
pref("autoupdate.enabled", true); // Anyone know what this setting is for?
pref("extensions.update.auto", false);
pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);

Thanks in advance

I figured it out after a few hours of Googleing and trial and error. The
short of it is that I needed to change this line in my site.js from
pref("app.update.url.override",
"http://srvlinuxnu.dmzhol.sc-intra.local/thunderbird/main/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml";);
to
user_pref("app.update.url.override",
"http://srvlinuxnu.dmzhol.sc-intra.local/thunderbird/main/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml";);
Apparently the folks at mozilla only bypass certificate and ssl vs
non-ssl checks when the app.update.url.override is set as a user
preference. (source: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=800307)
