Re: new mozilla version in stable ?
I've never used any unofficial debs, but a few weeks ago the Debian Weekly
News announced unofficial backports of newer versions of mozilla,
OpenOffice and a couple other packages. This seemed somewhat official and
somewhat part of, or somewhat condoned by, Debian.
Any comments on this particular set of debs?
