Thanks for keeping up with the status. I'll get into contact with the necessary people on behalf of GNU to figure out the current status of IceCat. But as was stated in another thread, once we _do_ have an updated IceCat source distribution, we need it packaged for Guix, and that is quite the undertaking. Has anyone pursued packaging modern versions of vanilla FF in recent months? =2D-=20 Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 https://mikegerwitz.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJbh0RpAAoJEIyRe39dxRuiMp4QAMaMyRLE8yR4zbPPIIKH5vw8 fsXEOXi+F4Fsv+bkTUGUn+KaGNy3tJ+QrNqP0MMXfaWly5COwFWoJZZIETZqCZ+3 E2zjxzcyQbcWw9K7/EGt3FU5yVbBz3Zig7xKZ2rSRgugMe+/brHI9fzhvBTlcMQ1 hJrMfQt4++xIosVGR5NFGqkkkz9v4pGt7sYNOMo70RnDTrXlcPc8IRpUiNc/Afdt XRVFfnaPrVFtWeXnpggVVLBcScIb7JSMJVj+7WJ2TjDtLv65FBgvTtOyLKLW6WDR VfZhkuDROykx2dX8grJq5uuovqqXbqoDG7cgSrtGwFaTm9FgUcQ8x5/u+PB1TRkJ b2U4bAgaeWVkB3MEGUctfu4E7CxMQfUTSBtZ1Wo5v00q2DMX2vYudnNKgFSK5r8/ No2wM4ILk6e8+f5XOZOKKkkEHJT8OWd09zhMNtkxBfcKM5suEM+Mq/8i+mNu2LyI j+jzGck2IFo/psun+9NxTlCqbT7QAqBfLmYC/UYcRKjy56kQWPo6oVbCl6cI4TpQ T1Kkb0qU2BMAo5OYWdalPKXrWHqKbLHxkMtKDTX+mtU+HNd5ZrKdndZjgjKVt2Hp gwhAukWpCpuBhKW9R93vDakatReQYAsuYVz+dSTE6rgERt3QrcxMRXq4WATEXEI0 U7cTJVS0XxPi7zxSrVXT =OXto -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
