With the release of the SUSE Linux 9.3 FTP edition this week, SUSE Security announces that the SUSE Linux 8.2 version of our home user product will be discontinued soon. Having provided security-relevant fixes for more than two years, vulnerabilities found in SUSE Linux 8.2 after July 14th 2005 will not be fixed any more for this product.
My personal opinion is, that please don't stop to support 8.2, _before_ a mozilla update comes out! (Please note, that this 'early' version of SUSE does not have any FireBird / FireFox...) It was a while ago the last youpdate happened for mozilla (January 2005) and I think closing the support now would just ignore the importance of this particular package(s). Yeah, I know, that the two years of official support are in fact already gone weeks/months ago, but I'm confident, that skipping e.g. this update for that (already) not-supported version of mozilla 1.4x wouldn't solve your problem for example concerning SUSE 9.0. Because that release having also this outdated mozilla variant AND supported still for about a half year. If you fix it once for 9.0, why not to do it for 8.2 as well? Please, if you can do something for it, the fixed mozilla-related packages would give a fair end for the long period you excellently supported version 8.2. Best regards, Balazs MELIKANT
