They will still have to update rust when the next major version of Firefox ESR is pushed out this June/July...
- anjbe 7y agoOpenBSD has a six‐month release cycle; Firefox-ESR backports will be able to use whatever version of Rust is in 6.7-stable (release coming this May).
- floatingatoll 7y ago> We expect esr releases will stay on the same minimum Rust version, so backporting security fixes may require Rust compatibility work too. The policy suggests that ESR will update infrequently to the latest Rust-stable at each major .0 release, so as long as 6.7-stable and ESR end up having the same Rust stable version, that will work out. That’s a coincidence-based success, not a certain one, though.
