Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] No Icecat binaries repository

[Loic J. Duros]

Hi Narcis:

I'm still working a few things with the new release (a.k.a exchanging
emails with RMS about features regarding fingerprinting.)

I have created a new PPA where the debs could go. I was planning on
working on this, but as you can see I'm busy enough with other
issues. My question to you is: If I walk you through compiling IceCat
and point you towards how to package it as a deb, would you like to join
the IceCat team and be the one working on compiling/packaging IceCat and
add it to the launchpad repo?

You have been one of the most active contributor to IceCat (Langpack
script, ...), so it seems natural to me to make you part of the team.

I'll send you details on compiling, but again, we need someone to take
care of this going forward, so if you are going to do it, I see no
reason why you wouldn't do it officially as part of the IceCat team.

Thanks,

Loic
