And what do you think are the "certain features" which may be lacking but provided in the suse packages? I am not aware that suse is in the business of re-writing packages such as Firefox or Thunderbird.
First of all the Firefox 2.0.0.12 update arrived at least in the buildservice at about the same time as anywhere else in the web. Even if you are free to use whatever you want there are a few changes in the SUSE version of Firefox 2.x. Some of them might not be of interest for you but still it is "better distribution integration": - Tango theme is prepackaged and used under Gnome - added some search providers - changed default bookmarks - support X11 session management (better) - using locale from the environment - support for lockdown mode - support commandline args for helper apps - get network status from NetworkManager - supports startup notification - use supported and default paper sizes from CUPS printers - being able to use system proxy settings - some other general bugfixes which are not upstream integrated - pango font rendering support - seamless integration with distribution provided plugins/extensions - pulls in installed dictionaries automatically Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
