@team-esr: Are you on the Mozilla Enterprise maillist? If not, I might recommend it. The following links to a message from someone who has packaged Firefox-ESR inside an organization: https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/2012-August/002124.html
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931829 Title: firefox 10 esr needs packaging Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Friends, I understand, respect, and accept that Firefox-10-esr will not be installed as a default package in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (and likewise Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.) http://www.chriscoulson.me.uk/blog/?p=111 However, I would very much like to see it packaged (and ideally in the repositories) so it would be an option for those who so choose and who are informed of the limitations, arguments, and risks. Naturally, it is possible to download the tarball containing the binaries from Mozilla, extract them to /opt (or /usr/local/bin) and symlink appropriately, but it would be preferable to maintain the packages in the repositories (for ease of upgrade when each point release is issued.) If the decision is made not to package firefox esr in the main or universe repository, Mr. Coulson, would you consider packaging it in your ppa (that you are in the process of retiring)? mozillateam /firefox-stable The ppa name would actually still be appropriate. I would be glad to help but would need (at least initially) a good step by step tutorial in getting the right source code files and uploading them to the ppa. Thanks so much for your consideration. Further, kudos for all of your work and sharing of your time and talents.
