Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Firefox 62 ? Developer version ?
Haha, I accidentally replied to Jean-Christophe instead of asking a general question I believe. Anyway, I sorted it out :).

It shouldn't be necessary to ask here to get a link to the alpha sources :) Jean-Christophe Helary --- http://mac4translators.blogspot.com @brandelune -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org

Nice ! :) Maybe that's information to add to the https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ page ? > On Sep 22, 2018, at 10:55, carl hansen wrote: > > On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 6:35 PM Jean-Christophe Helary > wrote: >> >> Thank you Bill. >> >> I just read that Steve Wheeler was using IceCat 60, but I'm only seeing 52.6 >> on the gnu FTP. > > https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/60.2.0/ Jean-Christophe Helary --- http://mac4translators.blogspot.com @brandelune -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Firefox 62 ? Developer version ?
Thank you Bill. I just read that Steve Wheeler was using IceCat 60, but I'm only seeing 52.6 on the gnu FTP. Is it just about getting the source from the git repository and then proceeding with the build process ?
