Bug Description

There is a nasty performance issue with TB 15 which is fixed in 15.0.1 according to reports in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787348.

I have confirmed this by installing 15.0.1 from https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable.

This needs to be updated on Precise.

Huh, I thought we'd already updated this???!! (at least, I uploaded it to the security PPA 2 weeks ago). And I'm not sure why it's in the thunderbird-stable PPA. Using those PPA's sends out mixed messages and is incredibly confusing considering I blogged about them months ago to say that they are no longer in use :/

I really should have just deleted those PPA's to avoid all confusion. They are definitely not meant to be in use.

Security PPA?

I would imagine because it's the latest stable release?

I guess I don't care where I get the packages as long as I can get
up-to-date releases, quickly and easily -- without all of the
bureaucracy of SRUs, backport justification writeups and whatever other
crap makes getting updates take 6 months.

So where should a current Precise user be getting their thunderbird
15.0.1 from considering that it's not yet in the Precise repos?

The security PPA is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa. The packages should already have been copied from there to the archive, and I thought they already had been.

The thunderbird-stable and firefox-stable PPA's have been obsolete and unmaintained for months. That is not where the latest stable releases go anymore, and hasn't been for ages. I even blogged to tell people that they didn't need them anymore.
