[Bug 1391508] Re: Newer version available message shoudn't be shown

 

Actually, the whole reason why this feature exists is because upstream
Pitivi frequently gets public flak from users running extremely old and
unsupported versions, and this problem is particularly present with
Ubuntu users. I am pretty strongly against removing this unobtrusive
notification. Anyway, it stops showing up after 5 startups.

** Changed in: pitivi (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Newer version available message shoudn't be shown

Status in “pitivi” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using pitive 0.93-3ubuntu0.1, I get a message saying "Pitivi 0.94.0 is
  available".

  IMHO that message shouldn't be shown if pitivi has been installed from
  repositories. It may lead to confusion to users which will try to
  install new version (maybe from the pitivi website) while having the
  version from the repositories already installed...

  It's similar to what happens with firefox. If you install it from
  repositories, it doesn't show any "Check for updates" option.

  Thanks!
