Yup. I think I put "very soon" or "later this month" or similar scary variations in the emails, so I guess we'll revisit in a week or two... dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org -- The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.

[Fink-devel] Removal of mozilla from dist
The package mozilla is _very_ old, and probably has gazillion of security issues. It also conflicts with some changes that JFM and myself wish to make to firefox & seamonkey. Currently, the only package that depends on it is openvrml, which has been superseded by openvrml016. Philip, can openvrml be removed from Fink so that we can remove mozilla? And if someone has a reason why mozilla shouldn't be removed, please speak up (an upgrade stub package to either seamonkey or firefox could easily be put in its place if wanted). BTW, the proposed change is to change the default 3rd party gecko plugin location from the hardcoded /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to %p/lib/mozilla/plugins (%p/lib/%N/plugins will still work as it currently does). The benefit is that future releases of each browser will be able to find 3rd party plugins (currently mozplugger and librsvg and soon gnash) w/out being limited to a specific browserN.

I suspect librsvg2-seamonkey can just die. Docs suggest gecko long ago added svg support in-core. I don't know for sure though...that package is on autopilot, cf. librsvg2 library itself which I handle as part of gnome. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org -- The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
