I should note that while we do build this officially, we do *NOT*
officially "support" it.
Primarily because we don't have any forms of testing/saneness checking
of these buids at this time.
We also do not have any form of automated updates generated for these
builds.
Do I assume future small incremental upgrades can't be done through
64-bit SM's "Check for Updates" and have to download the full .tar.bz
file to extract and use? I know 32-bit can do that since they are
official.
For the time being that is correct. We do have plans to make the updates
through "Check for Updates" available, but right now there are some
technical hurdles to pass for that, and they are less important hurdles
than others we have atm.
Alright. Please kindly let us know when those small updates are finally
released. So for now, we will update our SM with full packages.
I wonder how many users use 64-bit Mozilla web browsers. Maybe I need to
have both 32-bit (need to fix my missing .so file issues even though the
files exist). Hmm!
Mozilla Firefox has a decently non-zero number of 64 bit linux users,
one downside there is that the web properties still link to 32 bit iirc,
so on the release channel (and lesser extent beta) there is more 32 bit
users than 64 bit last I checked. while its opposite for nightly/aurora.
Granted those facts about Firefox may have changed since it has been
over a year since I last looked at the hard numbers there.
Interesting and thanks. :)
