While looking at the recent batch of commits, I was glad to see that you
removed the debian-specific code from makeicecat.  Thank you for that.

However, there's a problem in this commit:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/commit/?id=854456185c7ab011895c20af3572361defec9751

It leaves two nearly identical lines next to each other in makeicecat:

  cp $DATA/Changelog.IceCat $DATA/README.IceCat .
  cp $DATA/Changelog.IceCat $DATA/README.IceCat

The second command overwrites README.IceCat with the contents of
Changelog.IceCat.  Moveover, a subsequent commit
c624e1cd39a4e61f1924e153293e74e89e134a68 does exactly that:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/commit/?id=c624e1cd39a4e61f1924e153293e74e89e134a68

The above commit replaces README.IceCat with a copy of Changelog.IceCat.
You might want to fix that.

Also, are you planning to distribute a signed icecat-60.6.3 source
tarball soon?  I'd like to incorporate your updates into the Guix IceCat
package, but I'm reluctant to do so without a digital signature,
especially to authenticate the updated plugins.

     Thanks,
       Mark
