Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat for Android and derivatives

[Matías Zúñiga]

I sent a request [0] for adding IceCat to F-Droid. As we try to not 
download things at build-time, im using a fork [1] for the moment. I 
would like this to work with upstream IceCat, should i use the mailing 
list to send a patchset, or u use another system?

Thanks
