Re: firefox on buster
I see firefox esr 102.15.x has been released on bullseye. Do I dare hope that buster will be blessed with a similar update?

I had not been keeping an eye on the ESR timetable, so didn't realize we were hitting the switchover just yet. - Chris

He is referring to the fact that 115.x.x ESR has been uploaded to sid. The normal LTS workflow is to take the sid version of firefox-esr and backport it. However, the transition from 102.x.x -> 115.x.x will require a bunch of toolchain work to come with it. We normally do this once per year, but at a time where it won't hold up the update of firefox-esr. Emilio probably meant that the choices were: - delay the buster update to do a bunch of toolchain updates (could take quite a long time) - grab the latest 102.x.x from git, which wouldn't be quite as quick as a normal update for us (since the unstable packaging work wouldn't have been done on it, as the maintainer already moved to the next version), but is still much quicker than waiting on the toolchain stuff Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

It appears that 102 is the main version for all the stable Debians, so it's surprising to me that there was trouble. Thanks, - Chris

That's sorted now, and the update should go out today or tomorrow, once testing on my part has been done. Cheers, Emilio

I noticed firefox security updates for 102.14.x have been released for bullseye and bookworm, but not for buster (still on 102.13.x) Anything that an outsider can do to help with that? Thanks, - Chris
