Hi,
I converted Brad recipe (only for communicator) to a script (attached at end).

Netscape 4.75 packages? With 128-bit encryption?
In case anyone would find it useful, it's not very difficult to package the subject. I must assume a i386 libc6 system, since i have no others to test the instructions. If anyone else would, post an addendum. You'll need the approrpiate packages for building deb files installed (dpkg-dev, debhelper, that sort of thing). First, apt-get source netscape-base-473, and download the Netscape tarballs for Navigator/Communicator (or both, depending on what you want) from netscape.com. Go see a movie while all this downloads. For reference, about 200M should be enough to hold all the files. In the netscape4.73-4.73 directory, edit debian/changelog to add an entry at the top something like this: === start entry === netscape4.75 (4.75-0) unstable; urgency=low * Strong crypto is good! -- You [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu, 22 Jun 2000 22:46:14 -0500 end entry Also, since we don't particularly want to build a libc5 version, edit debian/installer and change all lines reading for LIBC in 5 6;do to for LIBC in 6;do. While you're here, change all occurances of 4.73 or 473 to 4.75 or 475. Toss off a quick debian/rules clean to rebuild the control file with the new version number. Now, we turn to the netscape sources. Change into netscape4.73-4.73/src and create a directory '4.75' (you can remove the 4.73 directory if you'd like). Now, from either the Communicator or Navigator tarballs, copy these files (they're the same in both): README.install jae40.jar joptio40.jar resource.jar ifc11.jar java40.jar jsd10.jar scd10.jar iiop10.jar jio40.jar ldap40.jar Create the directories 'communicator', 'navigator', and 'i386'. From the Communicator tarball, copy nethelp-v475.nif and spellchk-v475.nif into 'communicator'. From the Navigator tarball, copy nethelp-v475.nif into 'navigator'. If you don't want one or the other, just copy the 4.73 versions and throw away the debs in the end. In i386, create directories '6', 'communicator', and 'navigator'. In 6, copy vreg from either tarball, and create directories 'communicator' and 'navigator'. From the appropriate tarballs, copy netscape-v475.nif into these two directories. (For future reference, these seem to be the only two files that differ between the 128-bit and 40-bit tarballs.) Finally, mv the directory netscape4.73-4.73 to netscape4.75-4.75, cd in, and fakeroot debian/rules binary. Install whichever set of the resulting debs suits your system.
