[gentoo-user] Firefox + Thunderbird 1.5

[gentoo-user] Firefox + Thunderbird 1.5

[PaulNM]

Hi All,

	I had looked into this awhile ago, but put it aside.  Does anyone know 
anything about the status of Firefox 1.5 final and Thunderbird 1.5 final 
as far as getting into stable? Also, are any of the ~x86 ebuilds the 
final version, as opposed to a 1.5 beta?  I see a mention in a bug 
report comment for Firefox back in 2006-02-05 that it might be stable in 
a few days, which hasn't happened.

	Does anyone have more information about this, or know of better places 
to look than bug reports?

Thanks,
	Paul

Well, Thunderbird has just had a new -r* release within the past few 
days, so I assume that the devs are working on that still. You could 
always unmask the packages and use them. I have had them unmasked for ~2 
weeks and everything works great. I am sure other have as well.

Another reason to love Gentoo...If it doesn't work for you simply mask 
them again and re-emerge...it's great ;)

I'm not trying to be short with you but the only people that will know 
are the devs (and I doubt they read this list).
