Red Hat backports many fixes, instead of rebasing to latest. It's actually an _added_ burden they incur, to mitigate changes in the profiles.
I.e., there are many enterprises who maintain a full GNOME-Firefox profile set, and a rebase of Firefox can cause issues. Even when Red Hat rebases in an Update Beta, there are still some organizations that complain when the Update release comes out, and breaks a few profiles. Many times some Firefox bugs are only found in newer versions. And other times, sometimes the fixes break compatibility, when the issue isn't as much of a detail as people make it (especially Win32-only stuff that doesn't affect Linux). ----- Original Message ----- From: Todd And Margo Chester <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 4, 2011 9:40 PM That was pretty much Red Hat's attitude. Didn't matter how important Mozilla.org thought they were. I remember referencing them some pretty important/scary stuff. Red Hat doesn't care. I think Red Hat thinks Mozilla.org just puts out too much stuff for them to bother keeping up with. Unusual for Red Hat, as my other experiences with them are that they are pretty responsive to requests from me. Red Hat has garnered a lot of good will with me in the past, especially with them fixing my cut a data DVD, ruin your hard drive problem. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.repoforge.org/mailman/listinfo/users
