Probably won't get round to testing for a few days, so an early warning on a more worrying recent bug... - my experience of recent cvs, compiled on the playstion2, (blackrhino 2.2.21 kernel), apparently shows a disconcerting feature. After a few minutes of scrolling up and down standard web-sites the whole system will hang (eg it's unpingable, and doesn't respond to any keyboard input), and needs a hard reset :-( Anyone else currently testing on the ps2 please (and hopefully had better experiences, or a fix)??

worried about dillo (cathedral and bazaar)

by linux seaq

Hi, i want to express my gratitude with the dillo developers, this is a really nice product, i use it everyday. I use mozilla only for banking, hotmail and flash sites. I'm only a user i'm not a developer, so my point of view is mainly from an user's perspective. Since dillo's win32 fork and previous discussion, it was clear to me that dillo development was, in some way, closed. That odd feeling was confirmed by the "memo" sent by main developers about patches and additions to dillo. Since that mail, all the "foreign" contributors stopped to share their improvements to dillo project.Or it seems to me at this time (PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG) That's really sad 'cause what i'm seeing right now is some kind of slowness on the development of dillo, and somehow is getting behind in needed functionality (frames,https,downloads,images, a lot of stuff out there). - from an user point of view - I recently re-read the cathedral and bazar paper, and thought to my self that dillo was heading in another direction. It seems to me that there's no intention to receive help from others, or get into account other's contributions. I believed that the main force behind a project weren't its main developers but its users and contributors. That mix made projects grow and grow. And dillo rejected that "magical" force. I'm just writing these thoughts, because as i said, i'm worried about dillo. I can't even imagine how painful would be to surf the web without it. Please everyone who loves dillo, do something so this nice project can grow without restrictions. Please don't get me wrong i don't want to start a trial, i just want dillo to evolve and get better everyday, with everyone help. Regards, Andres

Very snazzy. Slashdot shows 14. Then I look I my work home page (<http://www.jlab.org/~dmckee/>) which I know is buggy because the computer center prepends a bit of junk to each file at the time it is served. I get seven errors and the details are: | +---------- HTML warning: line 5, color is not in "#RRGGBB" format HTML warning: line 15, HEAD element must go before the BODY section HTML warning: line 16, META elements must be inside the HEAD section HTML warning: line 17, META elements must be inside the HEAD section HTML warning: line 18, META elements must be inside the HEAD section HTML warning: line 19, META elements must be inside the HEAD section HTML warning: line 20, the TITLE element must be inside the HEAD section +---------- | The first one belongs to the code the CC puts in. The rest come from my (correctly formed) header: having decided that I must already be in the body, dillo gets upset when it sees header stuff... I don't know that this is worth worring about---the real problem is that the CC is knowingly serving broken code because sending good code would mean parsing each page to find the top of <body> as it is being served. Not really dillo's problem, but I thought I'd mention it. > Most probably this CVS, plus a few improvements to our > configure stuff (compiling in old distros, png detection and > proper library linking) will be the basis for dillo-0.8.0-rc1. Sounds good. > PS: I'm for letting "combat mode" rendering and https for 0.8.1 > as its been too much time without a release. Sure. The CVS has been fairly bug free and _much_ better that 0.7.3 for some time. Get a new release out, and if the rest of that stuff comes together quickly, well you just get to have a fast release schedule. -- -- David McKee -- dmckee(a)jlab.org -- (757) 269-7492 (Office)

building on AIX, gcc, dillo 0.7.3

by Riccardo

Hwllo, I sent a private message, of which a reply was CC to this list AFAIK, about building dillo on my AIX system. The problem are threads. Pth can't be used and so I need the system's native threads. A solution was offered me but another email asked for more information, so I report first this information here before trying blindly. configure reports: checking target system type... rs6000-ibm-aix4.2.1.0 as far the system concerns. The error during configure is: checking whether threads work with -pthread... no. Now we will try some libraries. checking for library containing pthread_create... no configure: WARNING: *** No pthreads found. *** gcc -v yields: Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/rs6000-ibm-aix4.2.1.0/2.95.3/specs gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) while lslpp -l | egrep -i 'thread|xlc|gcc' bos.rte.libpthreads 4.2.1.0 COMMITTED pthreads Library xlC.cpp 3.1.4.0 COMMITTED C for AIX Preprocessor xlC.rte 3.1.4.0 COMMITTED C Set ++ for AIX Application greets, Ric

Bug meter

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! I just commited the new (big) patch that adds a "bug meter" to Dillo's UI. From the Changelog: + Added a bug-meter button that shows the count of detected HTML errors (left click shows the errors, right click offers a validation menu). + Removed the "show_html_warnings" option from dillorc. + Cleaned up the code for the progressbar widgets. Most probably this CVS, plus a few improvements to our configure stuff (compiling in old distros, png detection and proper library linking) will be the basis for dillo-0.8.0-rc1. Please test it and enjoy! Cheers Jorge.- PS: I'm for letting "combat mode" rendering and https for 0.8.1 as its been too much time without a release.

Hi, > > AFAIR 0.7.3 had a bug which caused that. I'm running CVS on FreeBSD 4.8 > > That would be the one I am using. Where can find out how to do the CVS for FBSD 4.9? > I have not ever done anything CVS and would like to get this resolved. I guess once in a while there can go some CVS infos onto the mailing list and into the archive ;-) This will be for FreeBSD and not all applies for Linux distributions. First you need gmake (GNU make), autoconf and automake installed. On FreeBSD you can choose which version. Currently *I* use automake14 and autoconf213. But on Linux I have newer version (but don't use the very latest version). Before installing the CVS version, I would de-install the current one. If you used ports or packages to get dillo, that is. I.e. for FreeBSD : pkg_delete dillo-0.7.3 (The executable would be in the same place, and then FreeBSD's package management could get confused ... unless you get brave and install the CVS version not in /usr/local/bin/ ...) Also make sure to kill the bookmark server : killall bm_srv12 Then you could start with http://www.dillo.org/cvs.html or simply copying from that page : cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo login # just hit return here cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo # then continue with cd dillo ./autogen.sh ./configure gmake gmake install That's it. /usr/local/bin/dillo is now the CVS version. *Hopefully* everything works. By now, the new plugin framework should also have gotten installed with "gmake install". And from now on, if you want the latest version, go to the directory where you started with the inital cvs commands, then : cd dillo cvs up -d now you can try the "shortcut" : gmake gmake install if that fails, do the full thing : ./autogen.sh ./configure gmake gmake install Cheers Andreas -- **************************** NEW ADDRESS ****************************** Hamburger Sternwarte Universitaet Hamburg Gojenbergsweg 112 Tel. ++49 40 42891 4016 D-21029 Hamburg, Germany Fax. ++49 40 42891 4198
