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.
So, as a person who decided to switch to openSUSE and a new user, I am supposed to know via ISP that 'it' has arrived in the buildservice? - but doing so it did not replace my security-deficient version of FF and so left me vulnerable?
I don't know what you are talking about and I guess you don't either. Because if you _did_ so it would have replaced your older Firefox.
Ahem, but only within the last half-hour Marcus Meissner responded with the following words, "As I already said, we are working on getting the updates out to the usual update channels. Ciao, Marcus"
And no, I don't expect new users to know about all the stuff around zypper and buildservice repos.
Of course they don't.
Come on, please be reasonable and realise that there are big hassles which most people here keep overlooking or ignoring because it is politically incorrect or considered as being anti-suse or anti-linux.
So what do you propose? To ship only a kernel and a glibc and let the user manage the rest? So please be _reasonable_ yourself.
What you state does not in any way follow on from what I wrote.
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":
Sorry, and I am not being offensive, but all the "reasons" you mention above are just lame and not relevant (to be polite) points.
That's your personal opinion. Stop talking about as if it would be everyone's.
Where have I claimed that it was "everyone's" opinion? You are getting agitated - relax :-) . I am not going out of my way to stir you up and insult you.
Take for example your claim that, "-use supported and default paper sizes from CUPS printers". I have little trouble with printing with my non-openSUSE version of FF to my printer(s).
Then be happy that it works for you out of the box.
Sorry, but isn't the printing part of CUPS supposed to do just that: work "out of the box", and without any "fiddling" by openSUSE people in Firefox, of all places, to have this happen as a matter of course?
More, "Added some search providers". So what exactly is the big deal? One can add additional 'search providers' at any time without relying on Suse. In fact, I have *thrown out* most of the pre-installed search providers.
That's again your personal opinion. Others have requested those in bugzilla.novell.com.
Jesus! How reliant on being hand-fed have some people become! Simply click on the down-arrow next to the entry appearing in the "search" window in the taskbar and select 'Manage Search Engines...' and you can add to your hearts desire all the search engines available! And people have been asking for this in bugzilla.novell.com?! No wonder that poor Marcus and colleagues have been run off their feet spending time answering requests for this sort of tripe :-( .
I won't go through the rest of the list because the items are all questionable, sorry.
It's most probably because you don't know what it is about but that stuff wasn't added out of fun but because it was reported as bug or requested as a feature request.
Right -see my comment above.
I'll stop discussing this with you and let others decide if the changes are relevant to them or not.
No problemo. And I quite understand, and accept, your comment. Ciao -- If you want to know what a man is like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors not his equals. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
