- Built-in search engines in some locales do not function correctly

Hi @stransky, Hi @xhorak,

any plan, when the 68.0.1 will be available? Only a F31 (firefox-68.0.1-3.fc31) seems to be available in "testing".
Have the build problems been fixed? As far as I have seen, there will be a 68.0.2 next week. (at least the last channel meeting mentions this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2019-08-08)

Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2019-08-09 09:31:55 UTC
Moving to Jan as I'm going to PTO next week and he's investigated the build issues already. FF 68.0.2 may come next week, we may ship that. Koji builders are broken due to rust version used there so we may switch to -j1 temporary to do that builds.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to 31.

This can be closed now - 68.0.2 was already released.
