Talk:Linux/Runtime Requirements

So basically this is saying that to be a Mozilla developer or tester you must have Fedora Core 6 or later (or equivalent for other distros) installed, right?

Has someone considered doing a survey of how many current developers and testers will be affected by that requirement? I'm guessing not all that many in the end, but it would be good to have some hard numbers.

Specific distros

Debian

Is this going to cut Debian 4.0 "Etch" off in the next half a year? The libraries in question are (though they might contain a mix of newer versions in them...):

• libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7
• GNOME is a mix of 2.14 and 2.16 packages, but libgnome2-0 is 2.16
• libcairo2 1.2.4-4

...and Minefield still works on Sarge (3.1), except that its logo is not rendered.
