Tried it with source code from earlier today.. I doubt it'll work with this full release.

Course, this is with GCC 3.2... I'm guessing 2.95'll work.

I wonder what'll happen with Mozilla 1.0.1.. are the dev's going to have 2 differant ebuilds? Will the 1.0.x series be prefered and the 1.x, x > 0 be masked? Time will tell I guess

Hopefully soon 1.1 will compile with gcc 3.2... I have faith

I'm using Moz1.1 right now. I used the 1.1beta and I dont notice any difference at all. Mozilla almost never locks up for me. I can't even remember the last time it locked up.

All my plugins still work fine, everything seems to work perfectly.

Finally mozilla 1.1 is out! I've been using the beta for quite a while now, but I couldn't build galeon (it needs 1.0). Now that 1.1 is out, the galeon crew will probably update their code to build against 1.1.

Very happy...

dioxmat · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 12:25 pm Post subject:

... or maybe not. 1.1 is NOT a stable release. its the" bleeding edge" release. 1.0 is still the stable branch, and the next one will be 1.0.1 ... my guess is, galeon people will use 1.0.1 . they should at least :)

I think galeon2 will use that branch which has more stable gtk2 support .. and i guess its 1.1, because adding a new toolkit is nothing for a 1.0.x release ....

cpwins · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 12:44 pm Post subject:

Do the mozilla version numbers work just like those in the linux kernel? I.e., <number>.<even_number> is stable and <number>.<odd_number> is unstable? I was under the impression that 1.1 wat stable (since it's no longer alpha or beta), but I guess you're right, on mozilla.org they call 1.1 "bleeding edge".

What is the deal with galeon anyway? Why do they always need a specific version of mozilla to build against? Can't they just use the Gecko API? All important parts of this API have been frozen for quite some time now. This means that all the interface functions are fixed so they stay the same between mozilla releases. Any ideas?

cpwins: sortof. actually, the whole 1.0.x series is the stable branch. it will always be stable, but without the cool new features of the 1.x branch.
the 1.x branch is, for now, the bleeding edge branch, but I suspect that will change at some point (when they reach 2.0 ?)

in fact, many features of the 1.x branch gets into the stable one. the fact is, the 1.0 branch APIs are frozen, so any software using gecko should stick to that.

about what mglauche said. mozilla 1.0.x DO have some gtk2 support. it has some bugs, some workarounds, but the code is here.

Can you explain me why Mozilla-1.1.ebuild is not yet in portage ?

Thanks you.

mglauche · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 1:24 pm Post subject:

because the source is not yet posted

gK · Guru Joined: 31 Jul 2002 Posts: 319 Location: France

And how long this stage takes approximately ?

oh sorry, i didn't see.

Tanks you.

no way. mozilla 1.1 is definitely stable considering that it took so long to release it.

dioxmat · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 3:07 pm Post subject:

tried it ? there are some nasty bugs, even crashes. people really shouldnt use it unless they want to test/bug report.

(pieced together from around the mozilla website)

cvs -d ':pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot' login
cvs co -d ':pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot' checkout -r MOZILLA_1_1_RELEASE mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
gmake -f client.mk checkout

go ahead and try that, i havent tested it yet.

Edited because it was csh instead of sh

I really dunno if this will work but its worth a shot i guess.

Edited again. I tested the cvs part thus far, it works. (only grabs the make file, btw. the make file grabs everything else i guess)

yeah

by that logic duke nukem forever should have zero bugs

Sequentious · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2002 5:16 pm Post subject:

Alright, using the cvs instructions Ive managed to pull down a large chunk of mozilla. It *appears* that "make -f client.mk checkout" just downloads the rest of mozilla from the cvs. I havent finished yet because the cvs is going slow.. hmmm, I wonder why....

I say appears that way because for all i know it could compile when its done downloading.
