Greetings, On 04 Dec 2024 15:35:10 +0100 I myself asked: > ... > Gentoo provides two flavours of Firefox, one in slot "esr" (Extended > Support Release) and one in slot "rapid" (new release every 16 weeks). > ... > So which slot should > I choose? Any opinions out there?
Thank you for the replies. Of the three people responding one reply was in favour of "esr" and two were in favour of "rapid" (pessimists would comment "only one more...", while optimists would comment "twice as much!" :-) Since in the past Firefox required some 100 minutes to build on my lap- top, I checked the binhost and found version 128.5.0:esr. Nothing from slot "rapid" there. And in the normal Gentoo tree there are also the two ebuilds "www-client/firefox-bin-128.5.1:esr" and "www-client/fire- fox-bin-133.0:rapid". Not sure why there are still these "*-bin" pack- ages and why there are no "*:rapid" versions on the binhost at all. But anyway, after making up my decision I will be able to install a bi- nary package :-) Sincerely, Rainer
