Hi, The Debian release manager announced recently that the time has come to prepare for a stable release. At present we have cvs snapshots of galeon in Sid. Most people agree this is not yet production quality; unfortnately there isn't enough time for this situation to change. Another option would be to include galeon 1.2 in Debian. This would mean maintaining a gtk1.2 version of mozilla; reinvestigating many (150+?) reports which were closed when galeon1.3 was moved into the Debian package; having a browser which has not been tested thoroughly with recently mozilla builds (everyone uses galeon1.3); and having a gnome browser which is very out of date and not consistent with the rest of the Desktop. I am not interested in maintaining a galeon-1.2 package and do not personally believe it should be done. If any other developers wish to do this (and, of course, mozilla-gtk1.2, mozilla-X-gtk1.2 packages), feel free. (would the ftpmasters allow two versions of mozilla?) My next upload of galeon will be to the experimental branch of Debian as per the requests of the release manager. I will then request the removal of galeon packages from sarge and sid. Unfortunately this will mean that all galeon builds will be manual until the buildd system is extended for experimental. I will only build i386 packages - hopefully developers with other platforms will build galeon on them. -- .''`.
