Hi, my windows install of firefox reported a few days ago that there is an update to 2.0.0.7, but I still do not see it for opensuse 10.2. Am I missing something? Or it is not yet released?

IIRC, Windows-only 'bugfix' that was.

Thanks, but according to this link there is 2.0.0.7 for linux: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.7&os=linux&lang=en-US Yes, I agree that this can be only windows bugfix, but it'll be better if we keep up with the versioning scheme. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I agree that this can be only windows bugfix, but it'll be better if we keep up with the versioning scheme.

2.0.0.7 was a Windows only release. The reason there is a Linux 2.0.0.7 version from upstream is simply to show that Linux is not behind Windows. I see no reason to provide a 2.0.0.7 package right now just for the sake of it. It would be simply binary identical.

Which, to me, what you stated is simply illogical - otherwise the people at Mozilla.org would also be stating, and doing nothing, as you just did. Irrespective of the above, even though I do allow SuSE to install a copy of Firefox as part of the normal SuSE installation, I always install, and use, the version of Firefox, and Thunderbird, from Mozilla.org and doing so I always know that I am up-to-date with the latest versions because they update themselves (and any themes/extensions) from Mozilla.org.

"Although only Windows appears to be vulnerable we will be releasing on all platforms to avoid confusion about what the most recent version is." This is the statement I know from the Mozilla Corporation.

The RPM version also updates themes and extensions but obviously no new application. You can do whatever you want but at least I take my responsiblity for the mozilla buildservice repository pretty serious. So usually (as long as I'm alive and doing that repo) you can expect that you don't have to wait longer for security fixes and the most recent features when updating from that repo.

Wolfgang, many thanks for the builds and the efforts. I just missed to check with mozilla site to see why there is no opensuse update, while there is for windows. Now, imagine, that was not me, but a regular (non-geek) user - what impression they will have, different than opensuse is not up to date... Cheers, and again thanks for the responses and the builds. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Your work is greatly appreciated. If they are binary equal, the number means little to me. I can certainly wait for a really newer version and not be bothered about frivolous numbers. I can certainly trust your judgment in that, you make the work of keeping up with firefox and thunderbird so much easier than it used to be. Thanks for all the work you do.
