You can always get new SuSE RPMs of Mozilla from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla The reason they don't go into the main update tree is that there are a lot of other packages that are linked against Mozilla libraries (Evolution, Galeon, Nautilus to name but three - there are lots more) and since Mozilla API was not frozen until 1.0, these packages could break and should be rebuilt against the new version of Mozilla. So, what started as updating one package has suddenly become updating several. And what if one of those packages results in more dependent packages needing to be rebuilt, and then more again? You see why it's not available by YOU? But, if you want to use the SuSE packages, you can, just be prepared for certain things not to work. Of course, you can get packages of Galeon and Evolution that work with the new Mozilla builds from SuSE at www.usr-local-bin.org (shameless, I know...) James
Why isn't Mozilla 1.0 available via YOU? The 1.1Alpha is already released...it can't take that long to verify 1.0 vs. .9.8 that shipped with SuSE 8.0. I sure would like to upgrade to 1.0. -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) Updated GNOME RPMs for SuSE Linux: www.usr-local-bin.org
