[Note: Please Cc: me too when you're replying. Thanks!] Hello!
A new test version of Debian packages for Netscape 4.73 is now available. The new version 4.73-19.3 | 4.73-32.1.4 fixes some bugs in 4.73-19 | 4.73-32. It also merges the Japanese and Korean Netscape resources, originally packaged by the Debian JP and Debian-KR Projects: netscape-base-ja-4 & netscape-jp-resource-473; netscape-base-ko-4 & netscape-base-ko-473; into the main Debian Netscape source packages. As well, Chinese Netscape resource files have been newly added. If you are interested, especially the CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) support, please download the test packages from http://pandora.debian.org/~foka/netscape-cjk or, better yet, use apt-get to do it automatically. Here are the lines to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://pandora.debian.org/~foka/netscape-cjk ./ deb-src http://pandora.debian.org/~foka/netscape-cjk ./ If you are only interested in testing the bug fixes, you only need: netscape-base-4 (4.73-32.1.4), netscape-base-473 (4.73-19.3) If you want to test the CJK (zh, ja, ko) support, you'll also need one or more of these: netscape-ja-resource-473 (4.73-19.3) netscape-ko-resource-473 (4.73-19.3) netscape-zh-resource-473 (4.73-19.3) But of course, if you have the speed and bandwidth, feel free to upgrade to all the other packages too. (There are no changes to the other packages though AFAIK. :-) Please test, and let us know if you notice any problems, error, warning messages, etc. :-) If all goes well, these fixes will go into 4.73-20 | 4.73-33. Special thanks to: Adam Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fumitoshi UKAI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Takuo KITAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Masato Taruishi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> UNO Takeshi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> KiHyeon Seo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and many other people for providing the original ja and ko packages, and for help, advice, testing, bug-fixing, and a lot more. :-) Here are the detailed changelogs: ======================================================================= netscape4.73 (4.73-19.3) frozen unstable; urgency=low * The "$SHELL" string was missing in front of a "./my-install" call in debian/installer, which again resulted in a somewhat empty netscape-base-473. Closes: #66108, #66689. * No longer creates empty /usr/X11R6/bin directory for the *-base-* packages. Thanks to Thibaut Cousin for the report. Close: #66108. * Added Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) Netscape resources. Special thanks to the Debian JP, Debian-KR, and and Debian ZH Projects. Note that the netscape-base-ko-473 package in "potato-kr" is superceded by netscape-ko-resources-473. Closes: #66633. * Added window manager menu entries for ja, ko, zh_CN and zh_TW.Big5. These set both LANG and LC_ALL. * Added Build-Depends: debhelper, libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1, libxpm4, xlib6g, libc5, libg++27, xlib6, xpm4.7 * Closing old non-bugs. Closes: #56228, #56651, #56652. ======================================================================= netscape4.base (1:4.73-32.1.4) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer non-upload (unreleased): Closing bug reports... * Added "if [ -d $d ]; then ... fi" in wrapper to check for the various wrapper.d directories safely, and at the same time eliminates the warning messages in 4.73-32. Thanks to Debian-KR Project developer KiHyeon Seo for the patch. Closes: #66269, #66286, #66343, #66375, #66378, #66382. * Type fix: s/an/as/ in "Cannot be run an root" in the wrapper. Thanks to James Van Zandt and Thomas Koehler for the report. Closes: #63214, #64429. * Removed bogus "-a" from rm's argument in wrapper. Closes: #61438, #65711. * Changed "printf" to "/usr/bin/printf" as suggested by Konstantin Kivi to fix a locale problem w.r.t. "," and ".". Closes: #61450. * Added a missing retval=$? (for netscape -remote) in the wrapper so that the proper exit code is returned. Thanks, Evan Martin! Closes: #66091 * Closing old bug reports (the one-char typo) fixed in 4.73-32.
