If this is how ya feel back port the damn patches. I do not have time to |
| 33 |
back port patches for every security issues that remains. I have fought |
| 34 |
to keep security from masking it before now. Maybe you would feel better |
| 35 |
taking over mozilla/seamonkey/gecko-sdk? If all the bug mail over the |
| 36 |
last week is not enough to move the tree to were it should be already |
| 37 |
for seamonkey as I have requested, then the responsibility does fall on |
| 38 |
package maintainer. |

For those who are unaware just follow all the blockers you will end up |
| 42 |
at security were there has been comments about back porting patches but |
| 43 |
you have not seen solar make any mention of who/when will or has the |
| 44 |
time to do the back porting. |
