Hipster is not stable, FF is not critical and the regressions are minor compared to security and usability issues. To put it another way: if I can choose between two up-to-date "slightlty broken" FF on Debian and OI, or between a "slightlty broken" Debian package and an vulnerable & unusable FF on OI, what do you think I will chose ? In the mean time anyone not willing to jump to FF43 can stick with FF38ESR, so there is a straightforward alternative to avoid breakage. The spiral of death can also be: do not ship it for testing, delay it, 6 months pass, your patches are obsolete, you do not have the time to update, wait a bit, check the pulse.. alright, now it is dead ;) Regards, Aurelien > > -- > Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology & Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT > http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php > KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu > Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026 > > > _______________________________________________ > oi-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev > -- --- Praise the Caffeine embeddings
