And release the package under my home dir, then add a "alias ..." statement in the .bashrc. Now firefox can auto update to the last version. Sometime i guess why linux distributions need to maintain a large number applications like firefox,libreoffice,but not let users to download the package from the corresponding net and install them.One reason I think it makes sense is that the package may not has the needed package format like .deb or .rpm, and there may be some security and stability problem. > > Cheers, > Rob Hurle > -- > ----------------------------- > Rob Hurle > ANU, College of Asia and the Pacific > School of Culture, History and Language > Histories of Asia and the Pacific > e-mail: rob1...@gmail.com > Telephone (ANU): +61 2 6125 3169 > Mobile (in VN): +84 948 243 538 > Mobile (in OZ): +61 417 293 603 > ----------------------------- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
