Hi, I'm going to go with a slightly more complete plan, hopefully getting xulrunner 1.9.1 in unstable tomorrow: - Send patches for the impacted packages. That has already been done 12 days ago, and some packages have already been updated. - NMU the remaining packages. I will be building the packages today to hopefully upload them today or tomorrow. - Upload xulrunner 1.9.1 to unstable tomorrow. - Request BinNMUs for packages currently depending on libmozjs1d.
