Re-generate targetApplication info for versions from the actual install.rdf

Open mattatobin opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Mozilla loved to display compatibility information that was contradictory with what install.rdf said in their attempts at compatible-by-default. Largely in regards to em:maxVersion but sometimes for em:minVersion.

You should work on regenerating the database info for compatibility versions so they match what install.rdf actually says at some point.

Yes, it probably makes sense, I will think it over.

The max version does not always mean anything. It does not always influence the install and it's ability to go ahead. Go Parent Folder and Show Parent Folder are good examples. Show Parent Folder v2.1.1 has a max version of 51.0a1 whereas v2.1 has a max version of 29.0a1 which is identical to the Mozilla listing in CAA. Go Parent Folder max version is 31.0a1 which is shown on the Mozilla extension page for Go Parent Folder. The CAA versions are very slightly earlier versions than the one I am using. Both install without issue on v52.9.1.

It would still be best if database metadata matched the actual data in install.rdf.

At the moment, I still cannot come to a final opinion on this matter.

What is there to be opinionated about. AMO DB info doesn't represent the actual files.
