[------------------------------------------ Firefox 1.5: This version of Firefox will be supported until April 24, 2007 with security and stability updates. We strongly encourage all users to upgrade to Firefox 2.
---------------------------------------------
If I remember correctly CentOS 5 beta comes with 1.5.x
Will be there an upgrade RPM to 2.x? (I know that I can install it manually...)
Thanks

I know the Fedora team wanted to stick with 1.5 and wait until 3.0 was released. Dunno what RH/Cent will do. My guess is stick with 1.5.

The current version RHEL 5 has Firefox 1.5 ... CentOS 5 will as well.
IF 1.5 stays or goes in CentOS 5 is of course totally dependent on what upstream does. Whether it gets upgraded to 2.x or 3.x or stays at 1.5 .. it will get updates for security until 2014 when CentOS 5 is retired. (OR 2012 for CentOS-4).
CentOS-4 has moved from Mozilla to seamonkey and from CentOS 1.0.x to 1.5.x ... so, the technology will be updated and safe, regardless of the version released. It may not be latest and greatest, however.

I think you mean from Mozilla to seamonkey and Firefox 1.0.x to 1.5.x :)

You are correct ... stay out of my head :D
There probably is good reason why we cant have ff2 in CentOSplus - but I cant think of it - oh apart from time to build and maintain ....

Firefox 1.5 goes end of life in April and will not receive any further security updates.
Sounds like a good reason to me 8-)
Note: Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.
Thanks Jason_Meers

Well, I think the version of firefox with centos will be based, entirely, on what is being shipped upstream. If upstream backports to 1.5.X then centos will stay with 1.5.x. If they upgrade to 2.0, then centos will upgrade.
It's a really simple rule to follow: - centos follows upstream.

But, as I have already said, that does not prevent us having ff2 in CentOSplus, as long as someone is prepared to build and maintain it, that someone being one of the CentOS developers ...

Where did you come across this info ? do keep in mind that Redhat do have their own people looking at the packages as well - and in most cases are doing the backports and security fixs for most of the distro in house.
Note: Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.
That might be upstream policy, but does not - unless we see specific info to indicate otherwise - reflect on the CentOS / EL distro tree policy.

no one is doubting your claim. We're just explaining it is not something that centos is going to pay attention to unless red hat does.
