Hi,

time is moving as fast as expected. Now that the last mozilla fixes
finally made it, the next mozilla security fix release is apparently 
coming soon :). Checkins have started again on the aviary branch 
and I will start to clarify those not properly documented with 
the mozilla security group right now.

I took a look at the state of my perl script(s). The hard work 
is done and what's left only easy and lazy work ;)

So the upcoming release will definitly help to put the needed pressure
on m, to finally finalize those helper scripts. After that, I expect 
them to be suitable for release to the public (after doing some basic 
documentation of course ;)).

Anyway, with the current state I am confident I can come up with
separate patches for all issues in a timely manner. Further there will
be a report with all addressed issues. How detailed this report gets
is just a matter of layout. In addition, I am bit unsure on the 
information needed in such a report. Any suggestions welcome!

So please, just wait with your upload for the final patches so we 
don't duplicate effords. I will keep you up to date on this. If you 
don't want to  do it  that way, just raise your hands. We can always 
discuss this on  the alioth pkg maintainer list for mozilla. 

Of course, anyone willing to help with the relative small amount of
manual work needed ;) - because scripts are not finalize - is
welcome. Just offer your help and contact me through
asac at jabber.ccc.de or #debian-mozilla on freenode.


Cheers,
