Please remove iceape from Hardy

William, who confirmed this and what archive admin was asked about this? What security issues do you think you will find in iceape and not seamonkey as they are the same exact package with exception to the branding? I will relay this to mozilla team in care of asac to see if he thinks this is valid for removal. it was going to be removed before final AFAIR but i left home when we were talking about it and havent been home since Jan.

Alexander please let me know what is decided on this.

I emailed Alexander about this but please answer the above questions. (i dont have Ubuntu pc handy ATM but will when i get home)

(Me, asac, fta), nobody yet (that's the point of this bug).

As a MOTU and leader of the universe security effort, I noticed that
iceape had the highest count of open security issues of any free package
(ie. not Java) in Hardy. I don't need actually anybody else's
confirmation, but as Mozilla stuff is special, I decided that I should
probably confirm the removal with Mozilla Team people, so asked in their
channel.

fta quickly confirmed that it was a mistake that it was left around, and
asac presumed it was already gone.

It also currently has no binaries published; they're all provided by
seamonkey as transitional packages instead.

iceape is a much older upstream version (it doesn't even have the
security fixes that were applied to Gutsy).

As I said above, both he and fta have acked this.

Sorry i thought we decided to remove it a while ago but since ive been gone i didnt realize it was not kept up or removed.

iceape source does not exist any more in hardy. There is just a transitional package 'iceape' which depends on seamonkey, built by the seamonkey source. So do you guys want me to remove seamonkey from Hardy?

I guess the outcome of my question pretty much depends on whether we can provide security support in Hardy for it. CC'ing Alex.

just a transitional package that should stay for hardy.

oh, madison on drescher lied.

since that was not done and was removed we are going to have a issue with upgrading to seamonkey i will check with asac and fta to see if we can fix this is seamonkey package but thats a long shot.

nevermind it is still in hardy.
