Hi
I am one of the pleased users of firefox-1.5.0.2-3.c4.centos but now I wonder if it will get update any time in the future because 1.5.0.4 is few days out already.
BTW, where can I find the politics behind update procedure of "the files non provided by redhat" ?
is it something like "when the package builder release it" ?
thanks in advance roger

As stated on the website and in many mails on the list, CentOS stays in step with Redhat Enterprise release. Also on pages linked from the website, are places that have enhancements to the base release, later packages in some, added features in some others, ...
Take a look at the web site and FAQ and other things.
thanks in advance roger

CentosPlus has a newer firefox than the base repository due to community demand, however it has become a bit outdated recently and does need to be rebuilt.

What are you waiting for :) ?
Actually, I will build the 1.5.0.4 version for FC5 when it is released and works ... checking now to see if it is ready.

1.5.0.4 is out since 31 May, but we should expect a new version after the javascript bug found this week
anyway, the actual 1.5.0.2-3.centos was created by you :-) so, do you have plans to make an update or do you prefer to get the update from other contributor ? ;-)

Is it my imagination or does the version on the recently released Ubuntu look better? Is there some handy way to compare font mapping between two versions?

I will wait until fc5 (or at least rawhide) releases a good 1.5.0.4 version ... though I could take the tarball from mozilla and manually change all the language pack extensions. However, that is a PITA and we normally wait until there is some kind of release from at least from Rawhide ... but an FC5 release is better because it is Rawhide with a little bit of QA.
Once we have that release, we have to modify it to work with CentOS-4 (remove cario and pango ... use mozilla-nss, etc.)
Since we know that 1.5.0.4 is coming soon, that is the one I am waiting on ... as released by RH in FC5.
Currently, there is no 1.5.0.4 in Rawhide or FC5 ... so RH is still working on it. When they release it, we will build it.
