Hi Alfred,

first I would like to say thanks for your great work to make
firefox 3 available in Solaris 10.

Yesterday I unpacked your new firefox tarball, and in the depend dir
I found all extra libraries twice:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
...
519151 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  234568 Jul 18 10:44 libatk-1.0.so.0*
519152 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  234568 Jul 18 10:44 libatk-1.0.so.0.2009.1*
519153 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  914644 Jul 18 10:44 libcairo.so.2*
519154 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  914644 Jul 18 10:44 libcairo.so.2.11.6*
...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbolic links would save a lot of space :-)

For firefox 3.0 you had uploaded these depend libs in a extra tarball.
Why are they back in the firefox tarball with ff-3.0.1? I think updates
are easier if there are smaller packages.


Maybe you could tell us something about the version numbers of the
libraries:

  /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0.700.3                [1.7.3 - 139968 bytes]
                           ^^^^^
  depend/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0.2009.1             [x.x.x - 234568 bytes]
                             ^^^^^^
  /opt/firefox3deps/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0.901.0   [1.9.1 - 415988 bytes]
                                        ^^^^^

I'm a bit surprized about these numbers.


Thanks again and greetings from germany

Willi
