We are aware of the ESR releases and the lifetime of the FF3.6 and TB3.1 series. What we haven't discussed in detail yet is if we want those and stay on them in the official update channel for openSUSE!
Hmm...
Since opensuse isn't a rolling-release (yet), I would propose that the update repo move to 10 and hold there for ff & tb. This will draw howls from those whose favorite add-ons are broken by the update from 3.6->10, but if the XSS security considerations warrant it, it is better to have opensuse's reputation for 'security' within its 'maintained' (not yet EOL) releases take precedent over the add-on consideration. Other than add-ons, the upgrade path from 3.6 -> 10 is seamless.
In summary:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/ (move to 10 and stick for LTS)
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/mozilla/ (continue to follow the rapid-fire releases)
You don't want distrowatch footnoting that some supported versions contain serious vulnerabilities.
Just my take on the issue.
Thank you. This is exactly what I would vote for. I hope this is going to happen. Cheers, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
