But instead +of doing something dirty (configure, make, make install), I made a clean +rpm of it, as it is easier to manage, and I switched to Seamonkey. + +This was made for Mageia 1 but it should just work on Mageia 2. It seems +there are troubles between Seamonkey and GCC 4.7, I added a patch for +that based on what other distros did (this one is taken from Arch). And +if the libvpx shipped with Mageia 2 is >= 1.0.0, system libvpx can be +used. + +The RPM includes the whole suite, that is the browser, the mail client, +the composer, the IRC client, the DOM inspector and the JS debugger. +There are 2 separate RPMs for lightning (calendar) and enigmail (GUI for +GPG). I have to say I almost didn't try lightning and enigmail, I just +checked they were launching. I also made a package for each locale +available. Official-branding was used as there were almost no +modifications to the source code (patches are here to prevent errors +during compilation). + +I haven't done any packaging before, my work is based on spec files from +Mageia or from other distros, and I used a lot the Firefox spec file +(including the virtual package for the locales). In the end, Firefox +spec file and Seamonkey spec file are quite similar. Maybe a template +can be created for all the Mozilla products but it's far beyond my +understanding of the RPM mechanisms. However, I'm not sure if my spec +file is correct or not (epoch, obsoletes, provides, the requirements, +the versions, etc.). + +Unfortunately, I read that Iceape was removed for Mageia 2. Maybe +Seamonkey can be resurrected instead. And another bad news, I don't have +time to be a maintainer for several reasons. I don't have enough time, +my PC is old (lot of time to compile) with a limited amount of RAM (lot +of time to link) and I need to run a stable version (not cauldron). The +files are ready, if someone wants to use them and becomes maintainer, +there is no problem at all. If not, I will run it just for me. + +Now, what you have been waiting for, the files are available here: +<A HREF="http://voguemerry.com/seamonkey">http://voguemerry.com/seamonkey</A> (there is also an RPM for the i586 +architecture). I'm hosting them, please be nice with my machine. The +source can be downloaded directly from Seamonkey website. + +Eric + +</PRE> + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="016017.html">[Mageia-dev] don't update perl modules yet +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="015793.html">[Mageia-dev] Upgrade: Seamonkey 2.9.1 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#15792">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#15792">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#15792">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#15792">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
