Thanks for the idea, I'm not in a hurry and don't have a desire to hand-jam upstream versions of firefox onto desktops. I just need to track progress on the patch release and report an ETA to our cyber security team. I just figured CentOS had a fancy devops CI/CD system somewhere that I could keep tabs on to watch what's going on as patches get built, tested and published. Seems like all the cool kids are doing that kind of stuff these days. > From: Alice Wonder <alice at domblogger.net> > To: centos at centos.org > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 07:31:20 -0700 > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Firefox 60.0.1.0 ESR Progress? > On 07/02/2018 06:57 AM, Sean wrote: > > Is there a way to track CentOS's progress on RHSA-2018-2113? > > > > https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2113 > > > > Thanks! > > _______________________________________________ > > CentOS mailing list > > CentOS at centos.org > > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > > This is what I do and it works well, script run as root after > downloading compiled tarball from upstream. > > ------ > #!/bin/bash > > TMP=`mktemp -d /tmp/ff.XXXXXXXX` > mv $1 ${TMP}/ > > pushd ${TMP} > > FFOX=`echo $1 |sed -e s?"\.tar\.bz2"?""?` > > tar -jxf ${1} > > chown -R root:root firefox > > mv firefox /usr/local/${FFOX} > > popd > > pushd /usr/local > > rm -f firefox && ln -s ${FFOX} firefox > > popd > > rm -rf ${TMP} > --------- > > $1 is the FireFox downloaded from upstream (compiled) > > Installing it as root means I am safe from malware over-writing bits of > it, but I do have to manually download. > > /usr/local/firefox/firefox then starts it - and old versions are > preserved in case something breaks (I just change which one the > /usr/local/firefox link points to - though I almost never have to revert) > > It's not RPM but there are too many advantages to newer FireFox for me > to wait. >
