Yes, we have some backporting issues currently, since the maintainer changed.
Also the 2.0 branch is officially out of maintenance, but there are some backports.
Hmm, but what about the 5-year maintenance duration for SLES/SLED? Isn't it guaranteed to get support and upgrades/security fixes for the whole 5 years? I mean, we cannot just stop browsing with our SLED systems after three years... Especially not if it looks like SLES/D 11 will not be released in this century or decade or sth :-)
I also feel that considering the price you pay for SLED and SLES one would expect to get at least security upgrades for these systems with higher priority than for openSuSE. With the increasing length of the SLES release cycle, this problem will occur more often in the future.
Of course we will be doing backports, I just wanted to explain the technical difficulties :)
I will try to get updates soon.
Thanks!
But wouldn't it be easier to have some additional packages of gtk, cairo etc., installing in some non-standard locations in /opt and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get FF3 running?
This is also something we consider and might be easier in the long run. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
