I've wasted hours today because of update 29 and I know that I'll have to do it again next month. That's IMO not a good default and even more bad that we don't provide an official alternative. But maybe this is all debatable.
Not sure why it took hours but yes, there is progress. In addition the lifetime of ESR does also not match the one from openSUSE. But indeed there are less updates involved in that case.
Let's do a first step (before discussing whether only ESR or latest or both should be supported and what should be the default)
Could I just submit request mozilla/firefox24esr against openSUSE:Factory/MozillaFirefoxESR or should we go through mozilla:Factory project?
mozilla:Factory is the devel project. So yes, it would need to go through it.
Would the renamed package build in Factory without problems?
Yes, but it would not pass duplicate file check w/o modifications since it has conflicts with MozillaFirefox.
What would be a good name? 1. MozillaFirefoxESR 2. MozillaFirefox-ESR 3. MozillaFirefox-esr
I prefer first one.
Not sure. I've often got requests to rename MozillaFirefox to firefox but I didn't do it just for the sake of a name change. If we introduce a new package the question is to have consistency or simplicity. I don't care myself.
Again, I'm providing both anyway in the buildservice and I can only work with the data I have and the number of complaints (the ones I see) are very low about the rapid updates of Firefox.
Don't forget all the Evergreen users. They don't complain because they _have_ already esr. I started complaining just now because I've switched the first machine to 13.1 last month.
They have ESR because it's everything but easy to provide a newer version on 11.4 because of the old dependencies there. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
