Blue Shell PPA for Firefox -- package name confusion
There's been some ongoing confusion in the forum regarding which package named
"firefox" is the one from Blue Shell. Occasionally, when Ubuntu updates theirs, people who perform a system update will end up receiving the non-Blue Shell version because the update of Blue Shell's version is a bit behind. What would you guys think of naming the actual package firefox-kde instead? ...Steve -- kubuntu-devel mailing list kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel |

As suggested on IRC a couple of minutes, would it be viable to
document pinning the package using Muon? Jonathan says that this can be done via muon ( downgrade the package and then pin it to the current version ).

Harald also pointed out that this would pose a security risk as we do
not have releases the same day as ubuntu.

Blue Shell PPA for Firefox -- package name confusion
Hi,
Without knowing the details more in depth, is there any particular reason why the whole Firefox is bundled with the support? Any way it could be a just support provided to "ubuntu-stock" Firefox as separate package?
