A simple option for now is to package FF by disabling those features and _not_ providing an alternative. For example, IceCat loads a different addon page than FF; we could just load no addon page at all, or a static one saying that it's something'll we'll get to eventually. I have no suggestions for dealing with the trademark issue, though. > What if, instead of making Guix's own "IceCat based on latest > Firefox", we do get in touch with IceCat project instead so that they > get convinced to use "latest Firefox" (and perhaps help them?) instead > of ESR? We (GNU) are looking for co-maintainers for IceCat. If anyone expresses interest with your suggestion, please have them contact maintainers@gnu.org. > Another option is to package Trisquel's Abrowser. Isn't Abrowser more up-to-date than IceCat is? It's maintained by the same person (Rubén), but I haven't used Trisquel on a desktop in quite some time. -- Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 https://mikegerwitz.com
