The stable Debian release is unchanging (i.e. stable) w.r.t. upstream versions except in the most dire of circumstances.

I do not know the versions of Iceape and Iceweasel that are currently scheduled for inclusion in Squeeze, but some investigation of packages.d.o and the PTS on your part will reveal those plans. Few (if any) features are removed in the re-branding (Seamonkey - Iceape; Firefox - Iceweasel; IIRC) process. Due to a conflict in Debian's (support) and Mozilla's (trademark usage) policies, it is not reasonable to release non-re-branded versions of Seamonkey and Firefox as part of stable. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I think the upcoming stable (now squeeze) will include Iceape. As for people who is now on lenny and wanting to use Iceape, if running a 32-bits system I would try with the upstream version: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ Most of the Mozilla products (like Firefox and Thunderbird) do not even require an installation, just download and run. For 64-bits users, I was adviced here that Mozilla uses to provide 64- bits packages for their nightly builds (just note that these packages are tagged as beta/testing, not final/stable products so there can be problems with them).

Re: Question about Seamonkey, Iceape, and Debian
FWIW, I'm running Squeeze, and I just installed iceape 2.0.10, which I believe is the most recent version of SeaMonkey. I'm running on an AMD64 platform, if that matters. -PT PS: I think this is the first time I'm answering a Debian question, rather than asking it...
