Hi Andrei,

not sure what the current status is right now with
https://addons.thunderbird.net/ (ATN) (have been out for some time, sorry).

Just checked for our addon which was compatible with FX and TB/SM and
available with
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reminderfox/. The last
version there was 2.1.6.3 .. compatible with TB60!

Now, on https://addons.thunderbird.net/ there is no entry on the
category "Calendar and Date/Time" about it. Searching on that page for
"Reminderfox" only points to a very old version 2.1.5.6 (only compatible
with TB56)

How can that be fixed?

Thanks for your help

Hey all,

https://addons.thunderbird.net/ (ATN) is currently available in
roughly the code state that it will go live. The database and file
store are still on the old copy from late last year, but that will be
updated this week after addons.mozilla.org turns TB/SM submissions
off, and once we've verified that everything works, addons.mozilla.org
will be redirected to addons.thunderbird.net(see: github issue
https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server/issues/6390). Note that
anything you do on the site now will be overwritten by the database
copy, so don't rush to update or upload add-ons
.

I've uploaded an add-on that modifies Thunderbird's prefs to point at
the new site, and it can be used for easily testing it in any current
version of Thunderbird. You can find it here
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/thunderbird-addons-test/.
The add-on doesn't do anything other than modify prefs, and removing
it will restore the prefs to defaults. Code is here
https://gist.github.com/Sancus/de9c386630b343f54d1231c402a07fdb if
anyone is curious.

I've tested add-on installs from within Thunderbird, uploading a new
add-on, and the review process. Because the database is old, hardly
any add-ons are marked as compatible with TB60 on ATN, but if you are
running a release version you should be able to install stuff, and you
can search for and remove/install the Thunderbird Addons Test, which
is marked compatible up to TB65.

The site may go restart/briefly go down at any time until the AMO
redirects are turned on(which will be announced), but there shouldn't
be any extended(>15 minutes) downtime. If any major downtime is
required, it will be announced here. There is also an email scheduled
for July 10 to developers on AMO so this is not the only communication
that will be going out.

Issues can be filed at https://github.com/thundernest/addons-server/issues

Known Issues:

  1. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/firefox/ and android are still
    available for now. Eventually they will redirect back to
    addons.mozilla.org, the redirects aren't live to make it easier to
    look at the firefox sections as the process to delete Firefox-only
    add-ons runs.
  2. Currently emails are turned off, because the process to delete
    Firefox-only add-ons sends an email for each one deleted and that
    might overwhelm our mail provider. These are working and will be
    enabled later.
  3. Add-on stats on number of users may not visibly update for the
    first week or two, but the data shouldn't be lost. More information on
    this to come.

This is addressed in the post: "The database and file store are still on

verified that everything works, addons.mozilla.org will be redirected to

addons.thunderbird.net is not "officially" live until July 12, copy
should be completed by then(if it is not, for any reason, we will delay
launch).

Thanks,
Andrei
