Bug#1040827: RM: firefox [mipsel] -- RoQA; severely outdated, depends on transitional libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
X-Debbugs-Cc: firefox@packages.debian.org, debian-mips@lists.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:firefox
firefox:mipsel still exists in the archive, but is severely outdated and
likely to have a very large number of security vulnerabilities. Newer
versions of firefox do not build successfully on mipsel. I think it would
be better for this package to be missing from mipsel altogether (the same
as firefox-esr), rather than existing but being old and dangerous.
It's also one of the few packages still depending on the transitional
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 package, which should be removed in trixie (ideally
it should have been removed already in bookworm, but that didn't happen).
Thanks,
smcv
