Hi Basil,
I believe I read the messages, but perhaps I missed something. My last question was not about updates for now, I understand that if I'm using 10.3 and update to Firefox 3 from the opensuse/mozilla repo, I will have to keep checking that repo periodically for updates. Understood. What my last question was does anyone know if opensuse plans on upgrading their base Firefox package from 2.x to 3.x for 10.3 in the coming months, similar to what they did from Firefox 1.5 to 2.0 on Suse 10.0 eventually (although that was due to security issues IIRC).
Sorry Jim, but you have me absolutely confused :-) .
If you are running 10.3 and are using the version of FF installed by openSUSE (ie, not a "roll-your-own" downloaded from Mozilla.org) and you have YaST2 setup up to do your upgrades, or have smart setup to do same, then -- as is indicated in the text above as written by someone other than me -- you will have your FF upgraded by YaST2 (or whatever) with openSUSE 10.3 installed.
If you are asking, indirectly, if FF will continue to be upgraded while you are running openSUSE 10.3 then as far as I know the answer is YES. It is openSUSE v10.0 which has ceased to be supported as announced recently (?3 months ago?).
Ciao.
Sorry if I'm confusing this. From what I understood from the above replies, when running 10.3, to upgrade Firefox to v.3, I added the opensuse/repo as listed. But the reply says that YOU updates will not be pushed out for this version of FF (on 10.3), I'll have to check that repo periodically to get further (future) firefox updates. No problem there, I just need to remember to manually update firefox from now on. If I didn't add that repo to upgrade to FF 3, I would still have FF2.x and updates for that version would automatically be pushed out by YOU. My second question was I was simply wonder if opensue would push out FF3 to all users at some point in the (near) future, thus giving all the automatic updates for FF3 as well.
Once I get my machines updated to opensuse 11.0 it won't matter, they already pushed FF3 out to that via online update.
:-D :-D The further we go, the deeper the confusion :-) Read Marcus Meissner's replies to my earlier message with Subject, "How to install Firefox downloaded from Mozilla.org" in this forum (posted few minutes ago).
