Hi,

here's an update on the 0.22.1 release process. See the bottom part,
that expects answers from core developers.

I've made some "progress" (more failed attempts to fix it), and the
ticket has more ideas to be tried. It would be really great if someone
took it over from here.

Looks like this will happen: I expect we can merge
feature/incremental-upgrades-integration very early in January :)

Ping?

Also, the freeze is coming soon, quite a few bugfix branches are
pending for review'n'merge, and there are more to come soon (Torbutton
and Iceweasel prefs updates).

bertagaz said he would take care of these ones today:

* #6496 (Drop sqlite3, nss and nspr backports from our APT repository)
* #6477 (getTorbuttonUserAgent differs from browser user-agent)

... but those other ones need a reviewer:

  * #6478 (Keyboard shortcuts use QWERTY mapping instead of AZERTY on
    French keyboard)
  * #6536 (Windows camouflage script does not set the browser icon to
    IE's one anymore)


Any taker?

Cheers,
