Alfred,
I tried your new FF3 package.
I've noticed that it has the side-effect that the Thunderbird package
now uses the new libraries, not the system ones:
libpangox-1.0.so.0 =>
/opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird/../libpangox-1.0.so.0
libpango-1.0.so.0 =>
/opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird/../libpango-1.0.so.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0 =>
/opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird/../libgobject-2.0.so.0
libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird/../libgmodule-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /opt/sfw/lib/thunderbird/../libglib-2.0.so.0
TB still works, but its behaviour and appearance changed, for example,
ths standard dialog boxes are not localized anymore.
Also, I'm a bit confused by all the files available there:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/
There is only one character of difference, dash or period, but the
content is not the same, not the same libraries versions, and not the
same origin if I understand correctly. Could it be made more clear?
firefox-3.0-en-US-solaris-10-fcs-i386-pkg.bz2
firefox-3.0.en-US-solaris-10-fcs-i386-pkg.bz2
Beside those remarks, I like FF3 on Solaris, thank you for your great work!
Laurent

> Hi guys,
>
> Thanks all for the feedback. The Firefox 3.0 contributed builds for
> Solaris 10 have been uploaded to the Mozilla ftp server:
> pkgadd:
> http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/
> tarball:
> http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/contrib/solaris_tarball/
>
> There are some changes to these builds to compare with the previous:
> 1. Add "--enable-official-branding" to the build option. Now it's
> Firefox, not Minefield.
> 2. Update the font to make Firefox 3.0 consistent with Firefox 2.0 on
> Solaris 10.
> 3. Enable jemalloc developed by Ginn:
> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422055. It'll decrease the
> memory footprint for Firefox 3.0.
> 4. Add "--with-system-jpeg" which should fix the crash issue related to
> jpeg images.
> 5. Update the startup script to store the configure files in
> $HOME/.mozilla/firefox. Now the tarball builds can run on a read-only
> directory.
>
> Please note that all the glib/atk/cairo/pango/dbus/dbus-glib libraries
> don't change in the new builds:
> glib 2.14.4
> atk 1.20.0
> cairo 1.4.12
> pango 1.18.3
> gtk 2.12.3
> dbus 1.1.20
> dbus-glib 0.74
>
> The pkgadd users can keep the old ones and just reinstall the Firefox
> package.
>
> BTW, Ginn's performance patches have been applied:
> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435739 and
> http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529. The performance
> improvement is obvious to me. And the latest Flash Player release
> 9.0.125.0 has fixed the gmail crash issue:
> http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash.
>
> Any problem, please feel free to raise it up.
>
> Cheers,
> -Alfred
