mystified Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well it finally hit portage so I'm emerging it now. It'll be interesting to see what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 It's like 2.0, with a few bug/security fixes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystified Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Wow, gentoo's getting a little slow... They have been rather slow. I don't know if it's because they're short of developers or what. But all gentoo programs go through extensive testing before being put in portage as x86.

mystified Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well apparantly it's now called Bon Echo. Just like Mozilla is called Sea Monkey. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Does anyone got it to work under mdv 2007? I mean no conflict libstdc++ version 5 and 6? I mean does urpmi libstdc++ version 5 creates any problem against the fact that then version 5 & 6 will coexist on system (I noticed ldd firefox mdv package is compiled against c++6 while firefox.tar.gz is against c++5 library) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have both on my system, no problems: [ian@europa ~]$ rpm -qa | grep libstdc libstdc++6-4.1.1-3mdk libstdc++5-3.3.6-3mdk libstdc++6-devel-4.1.1-3mdk not using the latest Firefox though, still 1.5.x, but the libs are there, and co-exist fine.

irlandes Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 They sure do! And, suddenly firefox 2.0 opens in Mandriva 2007 free RC2 and no missing libraries, and spell check works. I wanted 2.0 to fix a strange problem, it doesn't fix it, but will open a new thread. Thanks for urpmi libstdc++5 tip. I have both on my system, no problems: [ian@europa ~]$ rpm -qa | grep libstdc libstdc++6-4.1.1-3mdk libstdc++5-3.3.6-3mdk libstdc++6-devel-4.1.1-3mdk not using the latest Firefox though, still 1.5.x, but the libs are there, and co-exist fine.

phunni Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well apparantly it's now called Bon Echo. Just like Mozilla is called Sea Monkey. Weird. Firefox is called Bon Echo in Arch as well - although I think Sea Monkey is actually the official name for the new Mozilla suite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Surely enough "Bon Echo" was the codename of the Firefox 2 project... so the name isn't really distro-specific. Can you recall how many names Firefox has changed till day one? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Bon Echo is the codename. AFAIK, it was the codename for 2.0. Arch's is built without official branding. To gain official branding, all modifications and patches to the browser must be approved by mozilla. Ours aren't -- it's just impractical, and annoyance, and would take too much time, thus delaying releasing a very popular package with potentially important updates. All complaints regarding this should be sent to mozilla :) James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
