Description Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-25 21:40:30 UTC
Hi arches,

Could you please stabilize =www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.12, unfortunately firefox-1.5 is going to be on the tree for a long time, so i'd prefer to have stable the latest version of the series, the one that contains less bugs and fixes security bugs.

There's no hurry, as 2.0 is stable on all arches.

Thanks

Can we just jump straight to 2.0 and leave 1.5 behind?  I've compiled and ran FF-2.0.0.4 on a livecd, and it worked well enough to me.  I don't really see much of a reason to keep 1.5 around, given our limited user-base.

There are changes between 1.5 and 2.0 which not all users see as positive and not all extension catches to 2.0 yet.

(for others)
So, thank you for security-bugs-free 1.5.

Yes, that's what i want to do. But gnome-2.14 depends on firefox-1.5*, and gnome-2.16 doesn't work on 2.4 profiles, so, although Mozilla has dropped support for 1.5 series, i can't drop it from the tree before gnome-2.14 gets punted.

I just want to have the latest version released of 1.5, and then punt it as soon as gnome-2.14 gets punted.

So, if you mips guys don't have the gnome problems, drop your keyword for 1.5 series, so i can cleanup older versions.
