It seems to be the consensus that going to 1.3 will happen eventually.
They still have some work on UTF-8 to do first:
http://svn.easysw.com/public/fltk/fltk/branches/branch-1.3/TODO.utf8
Out of curiosity, I once made a dillo that compiled with 1.3.
It failed to work at all because I don't know the fltk and dw code
well enough in general, but I was satisfied with getting an idea
of how much there was to it.
- We would have to get Johannes to do dw/fltkview*.
- Fonts are a bit different. I didn't dig into that.
- Menus are a bit different. Didn't dig into that either.
- The PackedGroup for the UI behaved differently. I fought
with it for a little while, then grew impatient.
The rest was mostly changing a whole lot of fltk::something to Fl_something.

Generally speaking for Fedora, we won't turn on options which are not
turned on by default in upstream - it usually brings divergence from
upstream and comments in upstream mailing lists (not this one :) )
like: "That poor distroX turned on --enable-coolness so we are not
supporting users of this distro at all."
Turning on SSL in upstream means more pressure for fixing it, usually
:). But I am reading dillo-dev long enough to know it's not that easy.

Yes. While I did not read the license yet, if Debian feels the fltk2 one is
problematic, Fedora legal will feel probably the same (aka blocker).

Definitely agree. The first and the second one can be somehow
sorted out and fltk2 pushed to distribution, the last one is blocker.

That's of course possible and doable but pita anyway. We can't
ever make package for every distro out there, that's obvious.

I'm behind fltk2 in Fedora, Dillo is maintained by someone else but
is prepared for bump to Dillo-2 (there's bugzilla for this) when is
fltk2 in place...

I believe the simplest way for user how to get distro conforming
packages is via distribution repositories (+ receives security,
in-between-release problems solving, not necessary to check third party
websites, etc).
You greatly outlined the problems with having Dillo-2 in distribution;
the problem is FLTK2. While watching at "changes" in FLTK2 snapshots
I can't thing that the development is stalled or even stopped.
I understand that my proposal won't be popular but switching from
FLTK2 is necessary - we hardly have FLTK2 in distributions (read: no
Dillo-2 in distribution) and that's shortening our user base.
How hard it would be to rewrite/port Dillo-2 to FLTK-1.3?
(I see that the speed of v1.3 development is nothing exciting, but
from what I read months ago they at least plan to have a release
ever.)
While looking at the devel cycle of Dillo - two releases per year -
I believe this porting should be mid-term goal. Unless we wanna
spend another year out of mainstream distributions. (And frankly:
even with Dillo-2 based on FLTK-1.3 we are quite far from Dillo-2
in distribution...)

*Sigh*
Well in that case, I assume that no SSL as default is OK.
OTOH packagers may provide an enabled version with the warning
that no certificates are being checked.

iirc it stops giving you those messages if the dpi can find
a directory containing certificates, in which case the fact
that we don't check (I don't think we do, anyway) that the
server is presenting _its_ certificate is a problem.

Last but not the least.
I use "./configure --enable-ssl" bacause that way dillo is much
more useful (mainly for reading forums and bug trackers). So I'd
suggest to make the packages with SSL enabled, unless somebody
reembers a compelling reason not to do so.
There're times when the certificate asking dialog bombs the
user, but maybe not so often, or annoyingly enough, to avoid the
SSL dpi.

OK.
BTW, the rc2 version of dillo-2.1 (hopefully final) was
just uploaded to http://www.dillo.org/download/ so packagers
can make the respective files.
The idea is to make the announcement tomorrow in the morning.
Devid: please send me the .deb and its directions when done.
Same for rpm.
TIA.

Yes, I preparated an FLTK2 Debian package and it is built as static
lib but this should be avoided if possible, the problem is that fltk2
isn't stable enough so ATM it is static... The Debian license is the
issue that doesn't allow me to upload the fltk2 (and also dillo2)
package in Debian, there is an open bug about this
(http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2198+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+Qlicense)

It's good to see you're already coordinating with Kelson,
because that's exactly what I was to suggest.

FLTK2 is giving some confusion even to FLTK developers:
http://fltk.org/newsgroups.php?s6818+gfltk.development+T1
("pre-release thread").
In a nutshell (from my point of view):
* fltk2 is not officially released, and maybe never will.
* dillo2 uses fltk2, and this creates pressure to package it.
* Distros have a policy against statically-linked binaries.
* We can provide unofficial statically-linked packages until
the distro provides a shared fltk2 lib.
So, I'd suggest to package a statically-linked binary until the
shared fltk2 is available from the distro. Once this happen we
can provide a dynamic one.
This avoids having to sort out the patching/adjusting problem
of packaging a shared library, which is best solved by the distro
itself.
Now, it looks like you are the Fedora distro developer working
on both fltk2 and dillo2, so in this case you can decide and
suggest what looks best from your point of view.
From a user perspective, it looks simpler to download a single
binary and install it. If the shared way is decided, we need to
provide nutshell directions.
In the Debian case, I assume a statically linked deb will be
produced (until the license problem is solved).

I just updated the repo. Please give it a review and fix
the grammar where necessary.
The patch for working keyboard under numlock was also committed
(overlooked by me). Those having trouble with rc1, please confirm
the repo (rc2) works OK now.
When I get both OKs, I'll upload a new tarball for making the
respective packages. If there's anything else pending, speak now!
