Andy I agree it is latest stable, but so is 0.8.11 and 0.7.12 ... They are both latest, recent and stable (ABI and API stable) ... At least try to check packages that don't build/work. I've done my job of checking packages that I use, including gst-ffmpeg, alsa-plugins, gegl and such. I'd rather ditch some new feature for sake of other packages. ffmpeg api has been known to be problematic when major bump occours and I don't call that stable. Also, 0.10.3 wasn't that ancient (not even 3 months iirc). I rather like latest, stable *and working in all expected situations* instead of just latest and stable. I guess latest fully functional wins over latest available on my side. Ie, I am still using systemd 43 and udev 182 here ... They still work as expected (Only udev_acl is missing, and that one has been added into consolekit git repo - I need to get patch for that one). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Agreed, with regrets - I only started using transcode a couple of months ago, when I wanted to rip the audio from some DVDs to CD. It worked, but I failed to make a note of the exact commands I'd used, and I haven't managed to work out how I did it. Somehow, I doubt transcode will reappear in the book : development was at berlios, and stopped some time ago, the site we were using is just a copy of what is/was at berlios (because that will be going away). Unfortunately, google is not very helpful for the *package* transcode, it just finds references to transcoding. ĸen, feeling very pessimistic again -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
[blfs-dev] firefox translations
basic installation is no problem, just follow the book (i did xulrunner
+ firefox).
but:
getting the german language up and running was not as easy as with the
old 3.6
as i want german as GLOBAL default, i don't want to have to install the
xpi for each user.
here my solution:
download the desired xpi from
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/${VERSION}/linux-i686/xpi/
for me it was de.xpi, and now
cp ${LANG}.xpi
/usr/X11/lib/firefox-${VERSION}/extensions/langpack-${LANG}@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi
the user now just has to activate the language as i is listed but
inactive in the languages.
if you don't need/want it global, each user has to install the xpi as it
is installed in the users .mozilla diretory by default
in about:config the following must be set:
general.useragent.locale = de-CH (or whatever fits your needs...)
very important to do all 3 steps:
- the xpi must be activated (or installed)
- the general.useragent.locale must be set
- restart firefox
maybe a paragraph about this would be useful for others...

[blfs-dev] Bluetooth Stack
Does anyone has something against adding Bluetooth stack in the book? Todays notebooks come with bluetooth integraded, and it would be nice for us to have it available. Other than that, gnome-bluetooth and gnome-user-share need bluez and obexd to function properly tough. I suggest bluez, obexd and some gui program other than gnome-bluetooth for addition. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

simply replace all 'firefox' with 'thunderbird'
general.useragent.locale = de-CH
has to be set too
as google was telling me my firefox is outdated, i just downloaded
firefox and thunderbird 13.0.1
the same procedure as with 13.0 for xulrunner, firefox and thunderbird
compiled with success
but google still tells me i'm outdated ;(

This is good. Thanks, Tobias.
What I do is different.
In .mozconfig:
ac_add_options --enable-ui-locale=pt-BR
ac_add_options --with-l10n-base=../
Download the file
wget -c
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-release/pt-BR/archive/tip.tar.bz2
-O firefox-13.0.source.tip.tar.bz2.
The file tip.tar.bz2 uncompress in a unusual way that changes between versions.
For firefox 12.0, I had it uncompressed as the directory
pt-BR-1425d3501054.
For version 13.0:
pt-BR-d9b31c895dad
In the same directory buildir where firefox was uncompressed,
tar xf firefox-13.0.source.tip.tar.bz2 -C buildir
cd buildir
mv -v pt-BR* pt-BR
cd ../mozilla-release
...
Notice that in buildir there will be the directories mozilla-release and pt-BR.
The mv command deletes the varying part of the pt-BR* name and the build
expects a dirname = ui-locale defined im .mozconfig, in my case, pt-BR.
For you, replace pt-BR by your LANG value.
At the end you have a localized firefox or thunderbird or xulrunner. Could not
do the same for seamonkey, though, for a long time.
BTW, I did that today, for FF-13.0.1 and respective xulrunner.. For TB-13.0.1
it did not build. And, as i wrote above, could not do for SM-2.10.1. With
these, I will try tomorrow your instructions. (Im not in my regular machine.)
[]s,
Fernando
