Upcoming changes with Iceweasel/Xulrunner/libmozjs

news · February 26, 2011

Hi,

Following last week's thread[1] about what should happen with Iceweasel,

xulrunner and libmozjs, here is how things are going to happen within

the next few days/weeks:

- Iceweasel 4.0 beta12 is going to experimental. It will have to go

through NEW first, though. The package is however already available on

- Iceweasel 3.5 will stay in unstable, and will receive a new upstream

next week.

- Iceweasel 3.6 will disappear from the official Debian archives, but

will remain supported through http://mozilla.debian.net/. You can

already set your apt sources to use iceweasel 3.6 from there if you

want.

Maintainers of reverse build dependencies of xulrunner-dev and

libmozjs-dev are invited to update their package to build against

version 2.0~b12-1 and subsequent. Please drop messages on the mozilla

maintainers list[2] if you need assistance, or file bugs if you hit

some issues (which I'm pretty confident will appear).

Thanks for your attention,

Mike
