Requirements

  • can build in a 10.3/10.3.9 SDK/gcc3.3 and 10.4/10.4u/gcc4 Universal configuration
  • Compatible license
  • Approval to land in cvs (if not using mozUpdate)
  • https capabilities
    • Everything needs to be either https or signed (signing is an option for the Sparkle downloads, but there's a logistical issue that would come with that)
  • Update checking (OS version, etc.)
    • say, 1.6.x updates to 2.0.x at some point unless you're running 10.3, in which case you only get 1.6.x updates
    • and if you move to 10.4, do you get re-offered 2.0.x
  • provide a way to turn off update checking from inside the app (unlike adium - with apologies to cbarrett for the jab)
  • one thing i don't like about sparkle is that it doesn't check to see if you have permission to update the app first
  • We should only enable update checking in official release builds

Potential requirements

  • Resuming lost connections
  • Background/throttled downloads?

Concerns

  • QA
  • Generation
  • Gecko
