Of those 4, only one is still "supported".

13.2, released over 3 months ago is conspicuously absent, as is Tumbleweed.

Google didn't find me a wiki page explaining why what is there is there, or why what isn't isn't. What's the scoop?

FWIW, I keep 13.1 Legacy enabled in all my 13.2 and TW installations. e.g., FF 17esr is still working without need of extensions to keep it from Chrome pretension and some other evolutionary devolutions. :-)

Felix,

You may want to take a look at the overview page for that repository:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/mozilla:legacy

All 19 of the packages build for 11.4, but then the pickings get slim.

Only 3 succeed for 64-bit openSUSE 13.1

Wolfgang is the only "user" of the project, meaning he is the sole person maintaining/controlling it.

https://build.opensuse.org/project/users/mozilla:legacy

If you want 13.2/Tumbleweed added to the build targets, then you need to ask Wolfgang to do it.

Indeed talking to me could have been a first step but I don't care if it's discussed on the list. mozilla:legacy for me is something like a "garbage can". Actually nowadays I find it even more problematic than in the past. Providing packages knowingly with security holes big as something really big is nothing I find quite nice. Then again I've tried to put some packages into it before I deleted them. For sure I do not work on them or maintain them to keep them building. Either they build or they don't. But for sure I'll accept submitrequests to fix something and I also accept feedback what should be there and what can be deleted with good arguments.
