[18:39] slangasek: is there an appropriate process for taking over an neglected package in Ubuntu? [18:40] all Ubuntu packages are collectively maintained; there are no takeovers [18:57] slangasek: except Firefox [18:57] its been built by an automated build system for two years [18:57] and it stops often [18:57] leaving Firefox outdated and with vulnerabilities [18:58] the two people who maintained it before stopped awhile ago [18:58] um, no, firefox uploads to Ubuntu are always done by a human Ubuntu developer [18:59] the nightly builds of firefox in a PPA are not "in Ubuntu" [19:22] slangasek: the uploads ain't happening [19:23] slangasek: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/firefox/vivid [19:23] just to give you an idea [19:24] 2012 was the last change [19:24] that's not an upload [19:25] that's an out-of-date bzr branch, which is out of date because the bzr infrastructure is fragile and unmaintained [19:27] slangasek: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_33.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1/changelog [19:27] slangasek: 33 didn't release 13th [19:27] till the 13th [19:28] there was no 33 on the 9th [19:29] slangasek: Also [11:32] [06:53:53] Do you know anything about the fx ppa ? Some people told me that they haven't been updated :/ [19:29] what exactly does this have to do with your claim that the package is unmaintained and not being uploaded? [19:29] slangasek: if the latest 33 is not being shipped why is it called 33 in the changelog? [19:29] 33 didn't release till the 13th [19:30] that was pushed earlier [19:30] not even possible [19:30] that sounds like a problem you should take up with the person who uploaded it, who you just claimed did not exist [21:25] maybe the +build2 in the firefox version is relevant https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ [22:54] bkerensa: all the work that chris coulson, who according to you does not exist, is done in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/
