I'd like to know who controls the version-numbering of mozilla Firefox inside SuSE as it's not quite compatible with what some banks demand despite the fact that there was an update via YOU lately :)
I'm the packager. And I guess you are asking why we "only" ship Firefox 1.0.x with older distributions?
I hope I can encourage whoever it is to follow the "official" Mozilla Firefox version-numbering because thats where others look. Novell/SuSE is not big enough to dictate that yet ;)
Product and project management decides about version upgrades. (And in some cases maybe the security team if there are no other options)
Luckily you had a more reasonable version 1 and half months ago in the supplementary section of the ftp site but not the smartest way to have things done and for some to be able to do some online banking ;)
What is the problem? You say it's not possible to do online banking with Firefox 1.0.x?
A browser like Mozilla Firefox should be kept much more "current" than in the past.
Frankly, Firefox is one of the few packages which got version upgrades at all in the past. Wolfgang Rosenauer -- SUSE - A Novell business -o) Tel: +49-(0)911-740 53 0 Maxfeldstr. 5 /\\ Fax: +49-(0)911-740 53 489 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v
