The variables and content to build it on EL6 are in the current EL7 SRPM, but the EL5 stuff is (understandably, since it is going EOL soon) missing. What I am not sure of is if EL7 will stay on the Current Release for the next update or if it will shift back to ESR. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

There is a slight misunderstanding here. The Firefox 52.0 Version is released for BOTH, the normal release channel AND the ESR channel. This was done to have one 6 week periode of overlapp between the old and the new ESR version, to "ease over" the transistion, as the 52 version insists on GKT3 and gstreamer 1.x normally. At this point in time there are TWO ESR releases: the 45.8.0esr AND the 52.0esr http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/45.8.0esr/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-45.8.0esr.tar.bz2 (Last-Modified: Mon, 06 Mar 2017 16:34:18 GMT) and: http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/52.0esr/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-52.0esr.tar.bz2 (Last-Modified: Mon, 06 Mar 2017 16:32:42 GMT) So, if you go for 52, make sure the get the "channel" right (esr, not release) Pure personal opinion on 52 is still out, I'm not that hyped, some of my 'beloved' extensions / addons are no longer working on 52 vs 45. - Yamaban.

If ESR 52.x requires GTK3, then how can it be supported on CentOS 6? -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps at cfa.harvard.edu, http://www.cfa.harvard.edu

Mozilla released 52.0 as ESR and Mainline at the same time. I didn't realize they did it that way. Red Hat moved EL7 to 52.0 and kept EL6 and EL5 back at 45.8.0 .. both are now active ESR releases by Mozilla. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
