+<PRE>Hello,
+
+As Iceape was keeping crashing on my machine and because it was an old
+version, I decided to upgrade to the last version available. 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 &gt;= 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
