constant Firefox and Java upgrades

[bhyeti]

With the constant changes coming from Firefox, Java, etc, is it possible to keep these update
with Sourcery using the current '"arch" Slackbuilds?

i.e.

Code: Select all

http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware64-current/extra/source/java/

I'm not sure about that, but anyway, there's no need from a security point of view. Salix repos provide the ESR versions of Firefox, precisely because it was such a pain having a new version every week. I'm also not sure what the situation is with Java, but again, you're certainly ok from a security point of view with whatever's in the repositories.

Thanks, I know we're aiming for stable but those are the only 2 that come to mind as for as constant changes.

Libreoffice has form in that regard too

And OpenDffice too, if you use it.

I'm sure we could add more to this list.
