[Cooker] Firefox newer in 2008.0 than 2008.1 which causes upgrade problems.

[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

Just a word of warning to those upgrading 2008.0 -> 2008.1

As things stand currently there is a 1.1mdv2008.0 version of firefox in
the 2008.0 updates but only a 1mdv2008.1 verson in 2008.1 sources.

So if you have a fully up-to-date 2008.1 installation it will not
upgrade properly. This can cause knock on effects if you have e.g.
eclipse installed which can prevent the upgrade of a large number of
packages.

When the 2.0.0.14 FF updates hit both distros they should have the same
release number and thus should allow a smooth upgrade.

As FF is the exception to the rule in that version updates are
permitted, it should probably not have the extra subrel like most
packages. If that was the case this wouldn't have been a problem....

Col
