Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat maintainer position questions

[Loic J. Duros]

Hi Ivan:

Some help would be great, but the packaging part only takes 30 minutes; it's not what's time consuming. Do you think you could help with the development of special feature? Also, we need to move the free addon page and make entries in the fsf free software directory. Helping on that end would be great. Do you think you could help with this also? I know Ian Dunn has done some work on that end ao coordinating with him would be great! I'll see what you can help with for "packaging" but it's not the part where most manpower is needed.

Regarding improvements to firefox lately; I agree, and help with the list of things to do will help make thia faster.

Thanks,

By 21, many nice features were added:

JS PDF viewer,
Killing hanging plugins,
Buttonized download manager (personal fave),
Better scaling algo for images,
Few dozen critical vulns plugged.

I agree with RMS: there is no point upgrading every time, just because
Mozilla did. But it looks like v. 22 is significantly ahead of 17, both
in useful features and in security, so I've been waiting for an update
for a while now.

Is packaging hard? I may be able to volunteer some of my time to help,
while Loic is probably busy with making freedom- and privacy-related
changes.

I’m always ready to package new versions, like I’m always ready to support
IceCat in any way. Any ETA about IceCat 18?
Releasing a version that mirrors Fx 18 last changes isn't as important to the
project as adding new privacy features to IceCat. So the current version of
IceCat is 17. Nowhere on the project does it say that IceCat should follow the
latest developments from Mozilla automatically as they come. In fact, RMS has
explicitly asked me not to release new versions of IceCat without the latest
features requested. This is not what the project is about. Is there a problem to
package IceCat 17?
