You may try http://mnowak.fedorapeople.org/dillo2/ should be the last release. There are static RPMs for F-11 and SRPM, which you can rebuild yourself for F-12, when you have installed static FLTK2 http://mnowak.fedorapeople.org/fltk2/static/ Though, unlikely to have Dillo 2 in Fedora as a supported package due to FLTK2, which is used in Dillo 2, is unreleased version, we don't wanna in Fedora. (Anyway FLTK2 seemed to me dead, last time I've looked, anyway.) Unless Dillo 2 is based on some released and supported toolkit, Dillo 2 won't be Fedora-supported.
Thanks for the great work!!
Best, T

Hi, Does that mean that Dillo has no hope also because it is based on fltk2? Thanks! T

Definately not. Even though there is only few development going on for fltk2, it works rather well for us and pressing bugs get fixed. We also keep an eye on fltk-1.3 for which there is active development. Once there is an official fltk-1.3 release we will consider whether to switch to that version. Generally in dillo2 there is a pretty good separation of general code and GUI toolkit dependent code, so a port to another toolkit is possible. Cheers, Johannes

Thanks! T
FLTK2 is somewhat dead end from Fedora perspective. There is a bunch of issues in upstream FLTK2 snapshots regarding Fedora package policies. I fixed several of them in Package Review https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=fltk2 but then lost hope when others appeared... And more, upstream's not willing to fix bugs I found when pushing FLTK2 to Fedora (e.g. they sticked w/ "static" linking). FLTK1.3 (and 1.4) is the way to go, once it's released. I remember, release was scheduled for last summer but postponed. See their mailing list for latest info, they have some 4 items, 2 of them non-trivial, on the list. Michal
