Refresh shortcut?

by Ralph Slooten

Hi there all, Just a small question: Are there any plans to implicate a keyboard shortcut for refreshing? I know the rest of them, and unless I'm mistaken, the only one missing is refresh ;-) I use dillo mainly on my laptop, and try do as much possible with keyboard shortcuts, and when using forums, the refresh is neccissary to see which posts have / have not been viewed. Many thanks Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"

Dillo RPM/build on SuSE 8.1

by Kelson Vibber

Patrick, From what you sent me it looks like the problem with the binary RPM is over new libpng and glibc versions. Here's what I've gotten from SuSE's FTP site as far as library versions: SuSE 8.1: glibc 2.2 libpng 1.2.4 SuSE 8.2: glibc 2.3 libpng 1.2.5 So the glibc version conflict is explained. The libpng conflict is strange, though, because I would expect those to be the same generation of libpng. What version does "rpm -qi libpng" report? I did some digging through the mailing list archives, and came across the thread in which you were having problems compiling 0.7.2 from source. I had forgotten that the source needed to be patched to compile it on SuSE 8.1 ( http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-April/000532.html ) Does the 0.7.3 source RPM build, or does it give you the same libpng errors as 0.7.2? Can you compile 0.7.3 from source? If not, does it work after applying the patch? If so, I'll add it to the SRPM and apply it for SuSE <= 8.1 (or better yet, if I can figure out a way to do it, only on versions of libpng that need it). I'll try to find time soon to install a copy of SuSE 8.1 so I can do my own testing & building. I'm not too fond of SuSE's FTP-based installation, but the rant would be way off-topic. For now, I've renamed the SuSE RPM to make it clear it will only work on 8.2. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

dillo-0.7.3 is (finally) officially done!

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! It took a lot of time, but finally, dillo-0.7.3 is out! I just finished updating the web site and submitting the announcement to freshmeat (it usually takes some minutes to show in the fm's front page). This message is for those that haven't noticed yet. Or that have noticed too much failed attempts! :-) Enjoy Jorge.-

The new patch adds a new compile option: --enable-xhtml-dtd, which can be set to 'strict', 'transitional' or 'frameset'. Setting it to either of these configures the parser for that xhtml-dtd. I take it this is consistent in the current practice.

Anti-aliasing patch for dillo-0.7.3 available

by Reid Fleming

Greetings, Some time ago Nicola Girardi posted an anti-aliasing patch for 0.7.1 or 0.7.2 (thanks Nicola!). Based on that patch, I have created a patch to dillo-0.7.3. This patch has only been tested on a Redhat 8.0 system. You will need to install freetype-devel, fontconfig-devel, and Xft-devel if not already installed. The patch is available at: http://www.bigredrockeater.com/dillo/dillo-0.7.3xft.diff

Refresh tag patch...

by Tom Lisjac

Last Spring we deployed Dillo 7.2 for use in library lookup stations at a local elementary school. Dillo ran beautifully in our LTSP lab and on 4 CD booted, diskless P-120's with 64 megabytes of ram: http://otero.harrison.k12.co.us/Linux/lab.html For catalog searches, the librarians, teachers and kids love Dillo and prefer it to Mozilla on Linux or IE on Win98. We would like to install diskless Linux lookup stations in all the school libraries... which would replace 200+ Windows 98 installs. The *only* problem is that the card catalog server (Accent) uses sessions that require periodic client refresh. If the sessions time out, the server produces an error message that confuses the kids and frequently requires teacher intervention. I understand and respect the reasons for not supporting the refresh tag... but I was wondering if someone may have had this problem and developed a patch or some other technique to make it work. Best regards, Tom Lisjac http://theseus.sourceforge.net

Interesting. I guess it's a different philosophy of when to break binary compatibility. I've been using Red Hat for years, and they generally only jump major library versions with the x.0 releases. The Dillo package built on RH 7.3, for instance, will also run on RH 7.2 and RH 7.1. (At least the 0.7.2 one does - I'll have to verify the new one.) I've generally figured on just aiming for the most recent point release - Red Hat 6.2, 7.3, etc., Mandrake 8.2, 9.1, and so on. Does the .src.rpm work? (Running "rpm --rebuild dillo-0.7.3-1.src.rpm" should build a valid i386 or i586 RPM.) If so, the easiest thing would be to just email me a copy of the resulting RPM (assuming it's 200-300 KB) and I'll post it. In the long run, I guess I'll have to install a SuSE 8.1 partition. Out of curiosity, what errors does it report when you try to run the 8.2 RPM on 8.1? Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org
