Re: Why was Galeon droped from STABLE?
* dman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [020416 20:10]: Indeed, having now done an upgrade myself (I use apt-get, not dselect) I see that the latest mozilla that is in testing is what would force my (old) galeon package out. I haven't tried, but I would hope that picking up a new galeon from unstable would correct these dependencies. For myself, I'm leaving the mozilla stuff on hold until some other time. I seem to recall in the past having trouble with galeon keeping up with mozilla, although I used to try mozilla-cvs and that may have been my problem... Don't recall the details right now.

It's been far better since Erich Schubert became backup maintainer. The last 19 of 20 updates to galeon have been his. The original maintainer hasn't made an update since November 30, according to the changelog. -- Brian Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The bonobo problem seems to be arm-specific too, but it looks rather obscure ... might be related to recent libdb3 changes.

If you want Galeon, set your apt default release to stable, add unstable to your sources.list, and install it. Voila, instant Galeon.

Providing that it builds on arm and that nobody files a release-critical bug on it in the next two days, it will get back. It was originally dropped because the version in testing was believed to be badly broken and the version in unstable depended on a version of mozilla that was broken in other ways. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
