RPM for Mandrake 8.2, fixed SRPM for older distributions
by Kelson Vibber July 29, 2003

July 29, 2003

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

why gtk?
by TheStar July 28, 2003

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 :))

[PATCH] version 6 of Dillo tab patch now available!
by Frank de Lange July 27, 2003

July 27, 2003

Hej! I have released version 6 of my tabs patch for Dillo. Head for the patch website (geocities... start your junkbusters and privoxies...) and grab it while it is fresh. The patch was made against 20030723 CVS. Notable improvements include: - the mystery of the disappearing full_screen_off_button is solved, it now stays put. Turns out the dw_gtk_scrolled_window does not show (or raise?) the button when needed. (Sebastian, can you confirm this?). Solved it by hiding, then showing the button explicitly. - worked around (what I consider to be) a bug in dw_gtk_scrolled_window which caused a Gdk-CRITICAL warning about a non-existing window (the widget should check if the window exists/has been mapped before it tries to set a cursor for it. Or am I wrong?). The workaround consists of an explicit gtk_widget_map() call on the docwin in commands.c:480 - backspace now goes back ONE step in history, as it should... No known issues this time... Please... test this patch, and tell me what works/what does not/what you want to see changed... The patch does not just give Dillo tab functionality, it also provides a framework for implementing frames (no pun intended) by separating 'document' from 'interface' code. So, the sooner it is in CVS, the better... As always, you can disable the tab functionality with --disable-tabs. You'll still gain the focus improvements and the shift-click functionality, as well as the document/interface separation.

I understand. BTW, I gave a hand at trying to hunt the bug, and reduced the HTML page to reproduce it (attached), but it also requires a customized slow.c (also attached; it sends by bytes instead of chunks and allows changing the speed). A simple: ...slow?/tmp/b2.html will do. The bug has to do with the new way of handling NOWRAP. Adding more lines to the example table doesn't help, a window resize also doesn't help, but a back/forward fixes it. Hope this findings help. > > > I really don't want to upload the 0.8.0-pre tarball before > > 0.7.3 is out, and although a "first impression" is not accurate > > (agreed!), it helps to calm me down! :-) > > I don't know the state of 0.8.0-pre (I had no time to look at it at > all), but it may be an option to skip 0.7.3, depending on how much > time you estimate until 0.8.0 is mature for release.

It also needs polishing before end users can play with it. One way to solve this problem is to tag current CVS as 0.7.3-rc1, and then upload the truckload of changes that 0.8.0-pre has. Then you can freely work on fixing the bug on 0.7.3-rc1, and when that's done we release 0.7.3 to the public. That way, I can finally let our developers play with 0.8.0-pre from CVS. You get out of the release pressure, and the only thing to be done after 0.7.3 is ready, is to forward port the fixes to CVS (currently 0.8.0-pre is up to date with 0.7.3 CVS). The other goodie that comes from making a 0.7.3 release is that as a long time has passed since our last release, not making this intermediate one would put a lot of pressure on 0.8.0's timeline. Sounds good for you? Best Jorge.-

Dillo: the ***fast*** browser I was awaiting for ... No boring stuff like other browsers, all is so simple and easy-to-use! I just come to compile the last version (0.7.2) with a customized toolbar (pixmaps.jg.h), this is now PERFECT :) I don't find u really have to add something (even if I need Javascript for online shopping sometimes, & I've to launch another browser ;) POST-IT: just a remark about the PNG support, and the alpha channel: once the browser has loaded the picture, if it's used again -on a different zone- the background (which should be 'transparent') remains with the first background color...a cache pb?

I've got a 486 DX4 75Mhz , 24Mo RAM, 3Go HD, on a 640x480 TFT display with Debian Sid. Under Xfree 3.3.6 with the fluxbox window manager, Dillo is what i use to see the web because it's really fast even on my old laptop. I know links and lynx, but i prefer see the web with colors fonts and pictures. Dillo widgets seem to be based on GTK1.2, it's slower than lesstif but reasonnably responsive, and good looking. [...]
