Hey Dan,excellent presentation. In addition and with regards to point 3.(client.mk makefile instructions), someone can even give the extra command *make -C ../firefox-build/browser/installer* to create a tarball into the ../firefox-build/dist directory. For what is worth,browsers in general,and firefox in particularly,it's going to be updated much more frequently than every other application,lets say in a six month circle,for new features,security patches,critical updates (vulnerabities and such). I don't even install firefox in the root directory (looks scary to me) :). I just unpack the created tarball in my home dir or in any other user home dir,and just changing symbolic links to update the new browser version (don't even need to run once firefox as root).It takes a 27 MB of space in every user dir but i think its well worthing. The mozilla way is much more flexible in that regard,plus is the recommended way by the moz developers. With that in mind that would be a nice step for the project to follow your suggestions, as already Bruse had mentioned. Firefox updates/builds since the old *phoenix* days :) are uncountable. Once more excellent presentation. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
