Hi, >Can we do something to make this available to the users as soon as >possible? Now firefox-esr is out for stable users, too.
the current package needs to migrate in testing first, and then you need to check with -release team if a stable-proposed-update is feasible or not (I see esr is in wheezy-updates and jessie-updates, not backports). backporting it is possible but useless I think. >Also, we should consider adding a .desktop file to the package in order >to correct the inconsistent user experience caused by Firefox not having >the Iceweasel icon as expected. Currently, alternatives and dpkg-divert >are proposed. Any ideas? I think this is the best idea >/usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop (Iceweasel→Firefox ESR) BTW, as maintainer you should be subscribed to bugs, and close them if useless/wrong/incomplete. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=826535 cheers, G.
