Revision as of 06:37, 5 September 2019
IceCat is maintained by volunteers on a "labor of love" basis. As such, community participation is essential, in order to keep the project healthy and serving the interests of it's users. Anyone who is interested in packaging IceCat or liberated versions of other Mozilla programs, and anyone who would like to help with documentation or artwork, or who may wish simply to voice their opinions (aka. bike-shed) about aspects of it's development; such as: which features should be enabled or disabled, what the home page should look like, what is the default search engine, etc, is encouraged to subscribe to the 'gnuzilla-dev' mailing list, or request to join the Gnuzilla team on Savannah.

GNU
The vanilla icecat/gnuzilla:
- git with source
- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/
- Gnuzilla/Icecat in the Free Software Directory
- see also #GUIX
In GNU Guix <https://gnu.org/s/guix> we keep our IceCat package up-to-date by promptly running the 'makeicecat' script on the latest Firefox ESR release whenever Mozilla issues security updates. We had to abandon use of the IceCat-provided source tarballs for the reason you mention.
You could use the IceCat from Guix, or you could run the 'makeicecat' script yourself to produce an up-to-date IceCat source tarball from the corresponding Firefox ESR source tarball. You can find 'makeicecat' in the Gnuzilla git repository, here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git
