I have built them and uploaded to my repo. The repo is for testing packages i take no responsibility if it breaks your install (just a warning i havent had any issues at all with it)
Add this repo to your sources.list file and update than install. deb http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/mozilla-testing ./
If you get time i have iceape built on that repo as well and im looking for a lot of good testers to punish it and see how it handles.

Do me a favor and dont use the repo for 24-48 hours from the time of this post. that will give me time to get everything in it for firefox and iceape and to make sure depends are gonna get corrected if they fail. (in otherwords i want to test repo before it is used widely

In the next few weeks i will come up with a central place to file bugs or a process on how to file them since the packages built in this repo are not in feisty repos.

Ok happy day today is. Finally got 99% of bugs worked out of repos. the repos are below. There isnt a signature uploaded just yet but i will be working on that when i get a few minutes.

deb http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/mozilla-testing feisty main
deb-src http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/mozilla-testing feisty main

I will build firefox-trunk again as i get important upgrades with it. Little trival upgrades of trunk is really not a priority to me but im thinking around once a week unless its urgent.
Thank you for testing the packages with us.

setting fix committed instead, as preview archive does not count as Released. At some point we will upload to gutsy as well.
