I am in rant mood again. namcap exists and I think whoever rebuilt firefox has read http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007- September/001644.html
Yet, firefox still depends on gcc instead of gcc-libs. The goal is to get rid of the gcc dependency, so when a big package is rebuilt, it is a good idea to check if such changes should be applied, as nobody will rebuild them "just for fun".
We have been encouraged by Aaron to communicate more, and I think we did in the last couple of days, but this doesn't mean anything if we just ignore what we read.
Another point is that this update was useless: there's one bug fixed, which only affects the windows and Mac OS X platform because it fixes a security bug in the case when firefox is called from the quicktime player. Since apple didn't make one for linux, it doesn't affect us. So before jumping to a new Xulrunner snapshot: skip that one.
