At this point we should've had the Iceweasel ESR, but nowadays Mike
Hommey seems to only upload to the official backports instead of
mozilla.debian.net, so it won't go live until it hits testing (remember,
there's a 10 day delay for unstable --> testing). The end result is that
we will have the ESR no earlier than the 9th of September (and hopefully
no later so we can spend 10-11th running the test suite).
Because of this, and that not a single other package has been updated
since ~rc1, some of us seemed to think that an ~rc2 would be a waste of
time. Looking at the recent changes in the testing branch also supports
that:
$ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline 0.13-rc1..testing
6d7395d Import live-config and live-config-sysvinit 3.0.3-1.
406ecac Rewrite the changelog for 0.13~rc1 in a more digest form
2faaa6b Enable the ikiwiki trail plugin for the locally built wiki too.
(+ another not-yet pushed commit that updates the deb.tp.o signing key,
which expired today)
At first glance 6d7395d may look like something, but actually it just
makes sure that we pin the versions of live-config* we already shipped
in ~rc1.
Given all this, unless someone strongly objects, I will skip
preparing/uploading/announcing ~rc2 and work on something more
productive tomorrow.
Cheers!
