eh, but i thought you just said 1.0.x is screwed up with gconf2?

Marco (galeon's lead upstream sort of guy) sayes that 1.1.x would create many more bugs than 1.0.x, which would be quite a feat. Galeon 1.0.x runs fine for me, and yet there are quite a few bugs. Probably if we uploaded 1.1.3, we would find that many people with different useage patterns than us would experience plenty of bugs. I say we stick with 1.0.x until 1.2 comes out. > And do NOT forget: Galeon depends on Mozilla, and mozilla is having > quite a lot of bugs, too. Mostly upstream that is. Mozilla 0.9.7 is in testing. Can we target an upload to testing only which depends on 0.9.7? -- Jared Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key ID: DF 28 CD 64 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/C d+(-)>-- s:+ a18 C++++$ UL++++>$ P+>++++ L+++ E--- W+ N+ o?
