We should update to IceCat 31, which is currently available only from Trisquel, here: http://devel.trisquel.info/icecat/belenos/pool/main/i/icecat/icecat_31.0+gnu3.tar.gz We also need security updates applied, notably the recent NSS signature verification flaw: (CVE-2014-1568) http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/736 https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2014/mfsa2014-73.html There may be other security patches as well. I suggest looking on mozilla.org for patches to version 31. Mark ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Jason Self spoke to the new IceCat maintainer (Rubén Rodríguez, also the Trisquel BDFL), and reports that the current plan is to base IceCat on the Firefox v31 Extended Support Release (ESR), to get security updates from Mozilla, and also to get the patches from TorBrowser. Rubén says that he's almost done modifying his scripts for the FF31 ESR, at which point we should be in good shape. I also asked on #parabola to find out how they deal with this issue. Apparently their IceCat is also old and unpatched, but they have scripts to modify Debian's Iceweasel to comply with the FSDG here: https://projects.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/libre/iceweasel We might consider adding this to Guix as well.
