 If you miss the firefox logo, and the word firefox in the title bar,
 then ok, well, run stable.
 
 Otherwise I would like to see what kind of OPERATIONAL difference you
 have found:
 - you still can fall iceweasel as firefox on the command line
 - you can browse the web *IN THE EXACT SAME WAY*

To be fair, it's not exactly true, because upgrading from firefox to
iceweasel in debian means upgrading from version 1.0 or 1.5 to 2.0, and
there are substancial changes that some people dislike, myself included.

Which means Piotr is actually probably complaining about the fact that
iceweasel is not quite the same as firefox used to be on his desktop,
but on the other hand, if it were still named firefox, he would have the
same opinion.

Yes.  Just printing an announcement like that would be a bug in two
ways: scripts couldn't parse it and it doesn't explain why Firefox
isn't there (MozCorp's copyright+trademark pincer tactic).

At present, it says:

  The following extra packages will be installed:

I've suggested that iceweasel provides+conflicts+replaces firefox,

Would that be better, in your opinion?

I don't know if it's possible.  I think that would require ftpmaster
assistance (because it makes firefox a virtual package as I understand
it and the previous firefox*deb files may need to be deleted), it may
make other tools say even more inaccurate things about the
firefox-iceweasel relationship and I don't know whether it would give
a smooth upgrade like the near-empty transition package. (From

If it turns firefox into a virtual package, then it cannot be done.  The
reason is that virtual packages cannot have versioned dependencies
expressed against them.  In this way, with firefox instead being a dummy
package, other packages can continue to express versioned dependencies
on firefox and everything still works.

You could have cancelled and looked into why that is.  iceweasel provides
firefox because it *is* firefox.  There is no functional difference between
firefox and iceweasel.  You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Except that the release managers and package maintainers don't want to
leave their users without an upgrade path.  They felt that Iceweasel was
natural upgrade path.  I must say that I agree with that since it is
effectively the same thing as Firefox, but rebranded and with a couple
of non-free bits removed.

I think that automatically upgrading people to Iceweasel is better than
leaving the stagnant Firefox package since:

- The security team can't support
- Debian is not allowed to continue redistributing
- People may not know to go looking for it

 I will give you an example:
 You are typing:
 aptitude update  aptitude dist-upgrade
 
 and after that you realize that you have no longer debian, but knoppix or
 ubuntu...
 ups... they are very similar you can say, but did you want to change your
 debian to ubuntu?
 I think: no!
 
What you are saying does not make sense.  Debian - Knoppix and Debian
- Ubuntu are not natural upgrade paths for many reasons.

 Be realist, do everybody have a time to read all news carefully?
 
No, but you said all you wanted was an announcement.  I gave you three.

BTW: WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
If you have currently tetex-* on your computer, you will soon miss it
probably, but there will be texlive there ...

But with the same (or better) functionality.

So please stop whining about something which is happening permanently

And if you are s desperate to have the firefox logo, just download

Out of curiousity, how did you not realize that Iceweasel was going to
get installed?  Do you not pay attention to what packages are to be
installed on your system?  You are running Etch or Sid, correct?  You do
realize that they are not stable and subject to volatile changes at
times.  Correct?

Re: Debian, Iceweasle, Firefox!

2007-01-26 Thread Leo Antunes
Iceweasel *IS* Firefox.

Only the name changed because of legal disputes. If you want, you can
probably start reading about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceWeasel#More_Debian-related_controversy

What you might have experienced is the upgrade from Firefox 1.5 to
Firefox 2.0  (roughly at the time the Iceweasel name came into play) ,
which some users felt was a step back.

 It is a reason why I have started to use Linux. I want to have
 complete control in all changes made in my operating system. As You
 mentioned, Iceweasel isn't real Firefox. 
 If I knew that upgrade of Firefox, would change my Firefox into
 Iceweasel, I wouldn't do it!

Answers:
Etch
apt-get

I was informed by apt-get that Iceweasel package will be installed, but I
wasn't informed that instead of Firefox and it is a problem!
If I would like to uninstall (even current version of) Firefox I would do it
myself.

Hi, Pete.

 I'm very irritated and disappointed with your policy! Why?

 I've used various Linux distributions for 8 years. I've been using Debian
 for the last 6 months, but today I changed my mind!

Poor man ;) Seriously, i've had enough from mozilla/firefox long
ago: screen, lynx, slrn, mutt are my friends.

See? No hands... ups X Window, it's magic!

 Ex-Debian user...
 ... back to the Gentoo

Farewell.
