I do not see the value in manually checking koji for Firefox updates and then manually downloading and installing them. That's just not going to happen by pretty much anybody. I have u-t enabled, I do testing, this update is not in u-t yet. If I knew Mozilla's Linux binaries provided its own update mechanism and notification, yes I would do exactly that. And I'd still ask what the benefit is of duplicating this effort? It sounds like it's not actually a benefit, rather it's "because packaging". -- Chris Murphy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
