RPM for Mandrake 9.1 PPC

by Kelson Vibber

I figured out what I was doing wrong with the installer, and I got Mandrake set up. I didn't have to make any changes to dillo.spec for once - all I had to do was install some devel pacakges that Mandrake includes, but doesn't install by default. An RPM for Mandrake 9.1 PowerPC is now available. http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ After the frustration of trying to get this installed in the first place, and a slightly better understanding of BootX which suggests that booting multiple versions of Linux on the same system will be inconvenient at best, I think I'm going to wait a while before I tackle anything else. This was the only PPC version I'd actually gotten a request for, after all. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

RPM for Mandrake 8.2, fixed SRPM for older distributions

by Kelson Vibber

I actually posted the files last Thursday, but I didn't get around to announcing it. I now have an RPM suitable for Mandrake 8.2 (and presumably Mandrake 8.1 and 8.0, but I don't have those to test it.) http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ In the process, I discovered a bug that prevented the SRPM from building on older versions of RPM. To handle the various menu structures, I used nested %if statements like "if Mandrake then X; else if SuSe then Y; else Z." RPM used to have problems with this. It's been fixed in recent releases, and it looks like it was backported for the version in SuSE 8.2, but Mandrake 8.2 (and probably older Red Hat and SuSE versions) would not be able to rebuild the SRPM. I've fixed that, so the SRPM should work on more systems now. If you were trying to use it and got errors about boolean expressions returning -1, try it again and let me know if it's still broken. I mentioned a while back that I might be able to add a few PPC distributions. That's turning out to be a problem, since I can't seem to install anything on the machine (a PowerBase Mac clone running Mac OS 8.5). I've tried Mandrake PPC 9.1 and Yellow Dog 2.3 so far. Mandrake's script for configuring BootX to run the installer won't work, and the docs for setting it up manually are sparse, so it's all trial and error. Yellow Dog sets up BootX fine, but the installer keeps crashing in the middle of installing glibc. Latest RPM Download Statistics (July) 270 Red Hat 9 avg 9.6/day 161 Mandrake 9 avg 5.8/day 120 Source RPM avg 4.3/day 107 Red Hat 7 avg 3.8/day 100 Red Hat 8 avg 3.6/day 82 SuSE 8 avg 2.9/day 7 Mandrake 8 avg 1.8/day (only available for 4 days) RH 9 is still the top download, but Mdk 9 has displaced the SRPM as #2. I do still wonder about the people grabbing the SRPMs. I haven't gotten many responses to the survey, and most of those were useless. People would select "Other" and then not say what distribution they wanted it for, or they would select "Older Mandrake Linux" but not say what version. Filter out all of those and anything applying to Mandrake 8, and only 3 requests remain: 1 each for SuSE 7, Red Hat 6, and Mandrake 9 PPC. Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Hi, I use Sylpheed-Claws and it is a matter of enabling the Dillo plugin (do "./configure --help" to see all the options--I think you want --enable-dillo-viewer-plugin IIRC). After you install claws, you have to "turn on" the plugin. Go to Configuration > Plugins and Load the plugin (mine is in /usr/local/lib/sylpheed/plugins--yours may not be depending on how you installed claws). HTH, Todd -- Name that tune #10: Now a very great man once said that some people will rob you with a fountain pen; it didn't take too long to find out just what he was talking about.

why gtk?

by TheStar

What was the basis for using gtk+ in this project? (ie, why gtk+ as opposed to fltk?) Keep in mind that I'm not (yet) a GUI programmer :))

Re: [Dillo-dev] [PATCH] version 6 of Dillo tab patch now available!

by Ralph Slooten

Although I'm not a developer, I am a regular user of dillo, and live off it's cvs ;-) May I just conclude that I just love this patch! Thanks, as it makes my life easier I find, and even though I use fluxbox, with tabs (so I already had usage of tabs to a point), I much prefer this method of doing it. Actually I'm running dillo at the moment with 3 separate patches: This one (tabs) External helpers patch (alowing quick starts to the page with a bigger browser which supports the pages dillo cannot render [plugins, css, java, so on]) and lastly the ssl patch (modified due to the tabs patch) My question is this to the dillo developers: Are these patches staying as patches, or is there any consideration to impliment them (or some of them as there are more) as optionals for the future? What I mean "as optionals" is default off, but optionally built in. Thanks again Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"
