early UVF exception request: childsplay/childsplay-plugins

2006-01-18 Thread Stefan Potyra
Hi, I'd like to request an exception for UVF for childsplay/childsplay-plugins. Rationale: The latest upstream release(s) not yet in ubuntu have been two bugfix releases, one made just today. That means, that the debian package won't be available before UVF. I don't want to diverge from debian

Hi, I've been playing around with the mozilla-provided binaries of a number of apps not in the Ubuntu repositories: seamonkey, sunbird and xulrunner. There's also a couple of third-party xul apps I've been trying: flock[0] and etna[1]; and I guess many will have heard about the as-yet unreleas
