Hi, we need to change the way security fixes are handled for Mozilla in stable-security. The backporting of security fixes is no longer sustainable resource-wise.
As such, we'll switch to releasing the ESR releases of iceweasel and icedove in stable-security. Reverse-deps of the older xulrunner libs have negligable security impact and we won't update them any further. One problematic aspect are the various xul-ext-* packages currently packaged. It's very likely that some of them will break with ESR17 and ESR24 in the future. However, there's not much we can do here. We can select a narrow (!) set of important addons (e.g. enigmail for Icedove) that we will keep in sync through stable-security, but that doesn't scale for the full scale of Mozilla extensions currently packaged. In the future the majority of packages should thus rather be installed through http://addons.mozilla.org instead of Debian packages. If you maintain an extension, you can test the compatibility with the packages already available at http://people.debian.org/~jmm/ Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
