Mozilla 1.2 final!

Eh...

Mozilla 1.2 final!!
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.2/
Finally! Woohoo!! Btw, as I posted in gnomedesktop.org, the new plugin spec (included in some masked gentoo's packages) installs everything with 1 command into where it should be, and all programs such as galeon, phoenix, and mozilla (that use netscape's plugin config) recognize the browser plugins! For once, it "just works." Check out packages.mask to see what I mean.

Anyone have a working ebuild for mozilla-1.2?

Thanks,

Binestar

How difficult would it be to just edit the 1.2b ebuild for this release? Where can I go to learn how to make ebuilds and submit them? :wink:

I couldn't find the sources in their website... well, I haven't thoroughly searched it.

the sources always appear a few days later. you'll have to wait a bit more :)

I used rpm2tgz and turned the src.rpm from redhat into a tar.gz file. If you know how to make an ebuild I'm sure you can do the same to get the source.

The source files are on the mirror now.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2/src/

Yes, the source is there, but some patches are missing from the release. See
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182506. Probably better go with the CVS.

FYI:

I modified the mozilla 1.2beta ebuild - removing 1 gkt2 patch and changing one variable according to a bug posted on bugs.gentoo.org, generated digests and compiled with gcc 2.95.3.
gentoo 1.2 unstable, fic503+ , 256mb, ibm 30gb, gnome 2.1b, xft2, fontconfig, voodoo3 pci ..... running 20mins so far fine

If java works this would just be beautiful. That is the only thing that annoy me when using Mozilla 1.1, except for some random exits.

Anyone tried out Mozilla 1.2 and flash, etc?

The problem with Java + Mozilla only exists when you use GCC 3.x - Sun JDK has been compiled with gcc 2.95.something, which is binary incompatible to GCC 3.2.

So for now, I think the only solution is to compile your own JDK, as explained in this thread. Compiling Java is a bitch though...I didn't succeed so far

I'm pretty sure the ebuild described in that thread is in the Portage tree now. I'm sure you have to download at least some of the files manually, due to Sun's licensing requirements, but the -r2 version in the Portage tree worked fine for me to upgrade the version I had already compiled by following that thread.

Only hangup is that ya need 2 GB (!) of free space to compile it.

Rebuiding sun jdk & mozilla 1.1 worked for me with the ebuilds from about 2-3 weeks ago ...

There was a thread bescribing the procedure ... basically:
remove 'openmotif' and/or 'lesstif'
emerge java stuff (sun-jdk 1.4.1.01; sun-j2sdk 1.4.0-r2 right now)
emerge mozilla
emerge netscape-flash
emerge back in 'openmotif' and/or 'lesstif'

now I compiled mozilla 1.2 from cvs and java + flash worked very well, forgot to '--enable-xft' so all the fonts are crap :cry:

if that worked, a simple mod on the 1.1 emerge should work too ( ... well i'm kinda reaching here ... it worked for me that doesn't mean it'll work in other setups too

I have a question. If I simply upgrade from 1.0.1 mozilla to 1.2, will I see speed improvement in Evolution HTML-messages? A friend told me he did.

Also, why don't portage install a newer version of Mozilla by default? All my Windows buddies are using 1.2, and I'm a bit sad to be stuck with 1.0.1. Also, why ain't there a "compile" version of Phoenix? The binary is okay, but not great.

I got 1.2 final built last night. I used the source tarball linked to above, but before I used it I unpacked it in my home directory, and did a "cvs -r update MOZILLA_1_2_BRANCH" on that tree to get the fixes that made it into _BRANCH but not _RELEASE (what the downloaded tarball was). I then repacked up that tree, put it into my distfiles folder, made the ebuild digest, and emerged it. Turned out just peachy using gtk2 and xft.

It's working fine with gtk2? Grooooooooooovy! The previous version had some issues

When's the ebuild due to? :wink:

And the way to build a 1.2 release is described in this thread:
