As noted in the email where I asked you this originally and which I
linked to from my second request on the topic:

« Note that this URL doesn't work in a browser but does work through
Git. »

Please try:

    $ git remote add upstream \
        https://git-tails.immerda.ch/verification-extension
    $ git fetch upstream

I removed this comment on the website a while ago (249e6f2153 from
November 7) after you first implemented the "up-to-date" vs "outdated"
logic. It was related to displaying whether the extension as already
installed (up-to-date or outdated).

The issue I'm talking about here is that, once the extension is
installed, the next step is not displayed automatically.

So could you replace that duplicated code with a message like you tried
to do originally in 412cb50? What made you change you mind right after
that commit?

Also, you're not answering to my concerns about the "up-to-date" vs
"outdated" logic being broken again. See:

https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2017-November/011867.html

And just to be extra explicit: since Tuesday, people who are running
Firefox 57, can't download Tails anymore because we're not finished with
this work.

I completely acknowledge that we have been slow and overwhelmed on our
side (on the technical mentoring of your work, on our own work on the
rest of the website, etc.) but if we have had a good enough version of
the extension on Tuesday, we would have made a first release of the new
download page on our website. But I think that the two issues mentioned
here are still blockers: 1. the page not updating once the extension is
installed, 2. the "up-to-date" vs "outdated" logic which seems broken again.

So I'd like you to move a bit faster now, please.
