Out of curiosity, who's not carrying it? It's been a while since I've run Linux, but OpenBSD has dillo-2.2 in its package tree.
Almost all distros/OS with binary packages... fltk 2.0 is not yet released and have a very slow development cycle (ie: almost dead), and that generates two problems: -less software uses the "new", "unstable" and incompatible(with previous versions) lib, creating less demand for distros to use it -as devs dont tell its finish and looks dead, no distro will "waste" time packaging it in beta state, they wait for the "stable" version when it show up sadly, dillo is not important enough yet to pressure distros to use it and many distros don like statically linked binaries For source distros/OS, its easier, grab what is in the repository and forget... if its broken its upstream fault.. if its dead, its user fault :) right now, the main linux distros (ubuntu, debian, fedora, opensuse) none have fltk2 binary package released. Of course, all can be build from source, but most (binary distros/OS) users dont want/know to build a package cya higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
