Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
find the repo for IceCat Find what? Unless you've done something stupid with your sources list, it should be in the Trisquel repo. installing from source You didn't need to do that. is there an easy way to install? It's called apt-get. Just apt-get icecat (as root).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I have been trying to find the repo for IceCat, is it still unavailable? Also I tried installing from source but kept getting error after error. As of this moment is there any easy way to install? I have heard a lot of hype for this browser, but everyone seems to be having issues installing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I think the easiest way to install IceCat is using Synaptic Package Manager. Search for icecat and you will find version 31.8.0-gnu1+7.0trisquel1 and language packages.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
So I did this, and now I have IceCat 31.7.0 running on a fairly old Trisquel 6 install. Every time I try to use it to go to the Trisquel site, it crashes. I suspect it's something to do with LibreJS, as when I turn it off, Trisquel works fine. I had a similar instability issues with IceCat (will check version) in the Trisquel 7 instance I just installed, suspect the same cause.

Gnactus VS Icecactus! The video game!!! Finally Icecactus can battle against everyone favourite character Gnactus! its a modification of PyVader that brings glory the the army of Gnactus! https://github.com/ZachR0/PyVader link: http://92.19.232.58:82/files/Gnactus%20vs%20icecactus%20The%20video%20game.tar.xz

Howdy I am the Icecactus and thou shalt have no other browsers before me!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
we already have problems with the two browser updates, imagine if the developers begins to work in a third «IceCoñazo» ^_^
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I want to see a browser named Icecactus based on Seamonkey!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
..entonces?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
ha! it hasn't yet been updated, Gnu? btw: nice nick!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Isn't that just a tower defense game, more or less? (I never played it.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Hm, the only difference I gather from other tower defense games is that there are multiple paths. It might be possible to recreate it with an existing engine (not sure, since I'm not familiar with any of the libre tower defense games).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Yeah. IceCoñazo should ask you to allow or deny *each* HTTP request, GET or POST.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I didn't intend that to only be funny though, I'd like to see a liberated (if not by far since, like FF, SM was quite free to begin with) Seamonkey!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Nice Tomlukey! And very nice wallpaper! Btw I heard that the dude who made that wallpaper is a very talented genius.. X-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I second that. That would be funny.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Are you the author of the Wallpaper?

Yes, he is.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Some puntualizations: * I wasn't able to find the failed script quidam said, It isn't with the other updated packages: http://jenkins.trisquel.info:8085/job/signed-dsc/buildTimeTrend * There is only a new commit in the git repo for icecat here http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git,and it's not related with icecat 31.7. As the change is also interesting for abrowser, instead of waiting for quidam to add the same change to abrowser, I did it and he only needs to approve the change here: https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/merge_requests/108/diffs#note_715 * The repo trisquel takes icecat from is broken now (http://devel.trisquel.info/icecat/repo ) So, imho, this problem is more related with Ruben himself, than with trisquel, as he is the upstream of the package, and for this version there is only a huge tarball, no code changes in git, and no debian packages, so it's not an easy work for an external icecat contributor. Ruben, do you mind scheduling one or two hours each week, to hang on irc and talk about the trisquel project? There are people willing to help, but sometimes, we need to check with you about trisquel related tasks, and you aren't usually very communicative in the forums or the devel mailing list, and that's having an effect on the project.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Gracias Rubén!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I can verify what Mr ST83 is saying: there are more people than you think working in Trisquel and I can tell the project has its own identity. It is still true that Ruben does most of the work but he is not alone and there are helpers writen, corrected and modified by the comunity... and I think it is growing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
it's just that Ruben is pretty much the only person who does everything here. that part? That is not true. In fact several dudes work on Trisquel and everyone can help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
The script that brings new IceCactus(tm) releases to Trisquel failed last time, I'll run it again today. Also FYI, version 38.x is coming soon!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Thanks a lot Ruben
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
What's the package name for GNU Icecat apt-get install gnu-icecat ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
sudo apt-get install icecat
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Ice Cactus is a variant of the Cactus in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare... http://plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Ice_Cactus
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
I stand correct, as it seems things are better than I thought on the multiple developers issue, it's not only Ruben. On the other hand, things aren't that much better, so it's really a minor detail that technically Ruben isn't the only one. My point still stands, that if you want better software and sooner, more developers spending more time is required. Doesn't matter if it's Trisquel or upstream Icecat.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
He is asking (I presume): why Trisquel's Icecactus wasn't updated to the latest version, being that the latest version came out 15 days ago?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Also the developer is the same for both projects (Trisquel and Icecat)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Most probably because Ruben (the developer) is busy with other stuff and there's no one else to do the job. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Let's create a browser called Icecactus :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Oh my, Icecactus is so funny. I cannot stop laughing for unknown reasons... I'm just imagining a cactus in the middle of the snow :) No sarcasm there, I really started laughing the moment I saw the comment.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
There has been a lot of merge requests lately, and Ruben supervises every contribution before accepting the code change so that is a probable reason, another one could be that he is testing it to be sure.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Still, testing and supervising contributions can be done by other people too, like in other distributions, not just by Ruben. So that's not really an excuse, it's just that Ruben is pretty much the only person who does everything here. So we either need to help Ruben, or make another similar distribution which is maintained by more than one person. Don't take me wrong, I'm not here just to argue or complain. I'm really-really happy and very grateful for Trisquel. But it seems to me that people are just not being realistic and not realizing the obvious thing: In order to make an even better libre OS and better free software programs in general, more people have to spend more time directly involved in the development. The real question in this topic should be: How can I help, so we can have a more recent Icecat version in the repository? But think about the answer too, before asking. :) We need to form a stronger and more self-reliant community.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
You **can** help! https://devel.trisquel.info/groups/trisquel I agree with you on one thing though: trisquel needs more developers. There are never too much developers.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
:)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
And what do you disagree with, I don't understand? :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Off-topic, sorry... But... And Android version of Icecat?! Finally! I've been using Firefox on my phone, thinking I wish Icecat was on Android... And here it is!
