[Cc'ing to debian-devel. Maybe others want to comment on this. Firefox
1.0x is currently kept out of Sid/Sarge because most translations are
not yet available. Therefore Sarge is likely to be released with Firefox
0.9.3]
Hi,
the latest news from my upstream is, that they are not going to release
a locale package for firefox 0.10 at all. They say they are going to
release Firefox 10 RC1 instead which is due 18 October.
Now, I understand that many other locale packagers have similar probs.
What does this mean? What is less unfortunate? Releasing Debian with a
totally unsupported development release of firefox or dump the
not-yet-updated locale packages instead?
Personally I'd rather have mozilla-firefox-locale-de removed from Sarge
in order to get Firefox 1.0 in! The localization can still be installed
through firefox' extension manager anyway.
Thanks,
Johannes
