Summary: Review Request: firefox2 - Mozilla Firefox 2.0 Web browser for FC6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211807 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-01-02 14:56 EST ------- I've already pointed out in various posts why this is not a good idea. Axel points out more. Additionally, the Firefox 2 package in rawhide currently regresses a lot with respect to i18n text rendering in the FC6 1.5 package. Many fixes have been going into the 1.5 branch from various distros, so making sure that 2.0.x has all those fixes is imperative. Honestly, I'm sorry that there are a few extension authors that couldn't be bothered supporting 1.5. I'm also sorry that XULrunner is still not released yet because this would be less of an issue then. But I'm mostly sorry that our desktop stack relies on gecko at all. Because Firefox 2.0 would be in FC6 already and everyone could find some other package to complain about. After my last public objections, some of you may have noticed that I got agreement from the Mozilla Corp. to better support Linux distributions. This changed the landscape some and may potentially help get 2.0.x into earlier Fedora releases or preferably get some 2.0.x features backported, but I can't guarantee either will happen just yet. I'm still working on things upstream as I can. So, once again, I will respectfully object to this package. If this is going to happen, it will be part of the core firefox package, not as a separate parallel-installed package. Should things change, news will be posted.
