Hi Wookey, A post in dillo-dev made me aware of this thread: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=510348 Thanks for your comment ;-) Some technical facts (all available from dillo.org): * dillo-0.8.x is unmaintained * dillo-2.x is the official stable branch * dillo-2.x uses FLTK2 not GTK2 as stated in the thread IMHO it'd be good to have dillo-0.8.x in Lenny, at least until dillo-2.x makes its way into Debian. We've been working on this branch for more than a year and it's way better than the former (details in the website). I'm aware of the problem distros have with including statically linked packages, and it looks like dillo-2.x will be left out of them until this issue is solved. Unfortunately FLTK-2.0 is stalled and an official release of it is nowhere near in the future. OTOH, an active set of developers is pushing FLTK-1.3.x very fast. This branch provides more or less the same FLTK-2.0 does. It's being actively developed, is less buggy and more stable, and will most probably be released soon (I'm yet to ask the team about dates). At some point in time we'll be migrating to FLTK-1.3.x (it has almost the same API), and hopefully then it'll be easier to include dillo in Debian. If you make progress with the certificate patch, please let us know. We're fully devoted to CSS now, and have no SSL expert in the team :( -- On a personal level, I'd love to have Dillo used in Debian as a help browser. This is, since a long time ago I've noticed applications come with almost no help (F1 button in the old days) and help drives you to an "About" window. But OTOH they have very good HTML docs (usually in usr/share/), that could provide for accurate context-sensitive help pages. The problem is they don't hook a web browser to the help button because a bloated app. that takes a long time to start, only to crawl the computer afterwards, is the last thing a developer hopes as her end user experience. There's the possibility of having a simple API to remote control the browser so the same instance is used. Dillo is fast, lean, and low on library dependencies. Any doubts, just don't hesitate to ask. -- Cheers Jorge.-
