CentOS - May 2008 - FireFox

Can anyone tell me if there are plans to update Firefox to the new 3.0 for 
Centos 4.5?  Seems like only the 1.5 version has been placed in the repos and 
I think it should be time for an upgrade.

If I'm looking in the wrong place let me know also.  Thnx.

It will depend upon if Red Hat will release a version for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. The best bet will be that they will not release it
until RHEL-4.7 goes into beta testing.

I wouldn't count on it. CentOS 4 (now at 4.6) is in maintenance only mode,
and
unless someone adds it to plus, I doubt it will make it in.
 From the CentOS wiki;

How long will CentOS-4 updates be supported?
We intend to support CentOS-4 updates until Feb 29, 2012.

The current plan is this:

Full Updates (including hardware updates): Currently to Feb 29, 2008

Maintenance Updates: Mar 1, 2008 to Feb 29, 2012


Full Updates - During the Full Updates phase, new hardware support will be 
provided at the discretion of CentOS via Update Sets. Additionally, all 
available and qualified errata will be provided via Update Sets (or 
individually {and immediately} for Security level errata.) Update Sets 
normally will be released 2-4 times per year, with new ISOs released as part 
of each Update Set. In the 4.x numbering scheme, the .x is the number of the 
Update Set.

Maintenance Updates - During the Maintenance updates phase, only Security 
errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released. There will be 
few, if any, Update Sets released.

I have a Firefox3 beta3 rpm for CentOS-4 that works in parallel with the 
distro firefox. once Firefox3 is released upstream I will get that built 
for CentOS-4 and put that in the CentOS Plus repo.
