Whiteboard
* micahg 6/14/2010 work delayed due to FF364/Xul192 backports to hardy/karmic/jaunty
* micahg 6/16/2010 delay TB3.1 transition in Maverick to Beta due to need to backport lightning and 3.0 and 3.1 requiring different versions
* micahg 8/2/2010 Firefox 4.0 all-in-one and Mozilla milestone PPAs delayed until beta
* micahg 8/19/2010 Postponing messaging menu integration per chrisccoulson until we can do it right (for Natty)
* chrisccoulson 23/08/10 New packages in archive with xulrunner dependencies:
* parole - This dependency is not actually needed, so I dropped that and opened http://
* instantbird - This is cool, so we keep
* weave - needs xulrunner as a build-depend. We can keep this, as it's being merged in to FF4.0 anyway, so maintenance effort will drop to zero
* moz-gnome-pm - my extension, which needs xulrunner at build time to compile the typelib
