Move!
Which version is "3.5....NOW" ? Is it some new fangled-experimental-release style version?
Adjust your parser.
Ah, so you mean "3.5"
Well, fox2mike is now working at mozilla, so he might have more information about this

Not to mention nirbheek has already added it to the tree. Because this was an internal joke from the #gentoo-dev IRC channel...nothing to see, just move on. :)

Guess I am old school and believe bugs should be handle in a professional way. You all care on if you must.
well, it is still package.masked and so not in ~arch. What's the plan with that?

Reopening to catch idiotic zero-day reporters... Will close when it's unmasked.
Hmm, well, It's stable... so yay! :) I don't believe in 0-day... but on the other side of that double-edged sword, we can have slow progression of ebuilds for intensively popular programs. Dare I go to an anti-0-day protest, and beg the question... Q: does this really need to be hard-masked?
Just whining, but since this was removed from the mozilla overlay but is not yet in ~arch my system wants to downgrade to 3.0.11 :(
package.unmask exists.
Oh and here I thought my "Just whining...." opener would have precluded such a response.
Um, For all you who want Firefox 3.5 now, you need to visit this link: http://allen.brooker.gb.net/misc/kitten-0day.jpg
I had just locally unmasked' the Hard Masked official 3.5 ebuild ... and emerged it successfully, and can run it successfully... but then somebody pulled it out of the tree again! >;@ I just checked the changelog... oddly, there's no mention as to why it was removed: 30 Jun 2009; <nirbheek@gentoo.org> +mozilla-firefox-3.5.ebuild: Bump to 3.5 (nothing more about 3.5) Is there an anti-progress movement going on here that I wasn't made aware of? :/

I checked it on several sites, including gentoo portage, and i was _reading_ a /usr/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-3.5.ebuild file, in my hands. It didn't come from layman. Then i emerged it. And I have no other overlays except the mozilla overlay from layman (but as i said before, they never provided a 3.5 ebuild). So if it wasn't you who was talking about "it's in tree - 1-2 days, and I'll unmask it", then how is it that 3.5 (non-rX) was in the tree... and now it's gone from the tree? Might wanna check: 1. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/www-client/mozilla-firefox/ again. The 3.5 non-rX masked ebuild was removed. And I am not losing my mind. :/
Nevermind. I found the entry. I'll assume it's still work in progress. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/www-client/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-3.5.ebuild?hideattic=0&rev=1.2&view=log

http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=28493 cat /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask | grep firefox # Needs mozilla-firefox-3.5, which is masked =www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5* ls -l /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56697 juil. 16 23:07 /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask how can as of today firefox 3.5 is still hardmask ? What are you trying to do guys ? make people leave gentoo ? If you really want to take a bit more time for testing, just put plenty warning in the ebuild or keep it ~arch but stop masking it.
Very strange. Why is the release of firefox so slow?!
Firefox 3.5.1 it's out...
