When xulrunner first appeared, my memory tells me that it was quite a bit quicker to build only firefox, instead of building xulrunner and then linking firefox to it. Of course, the instructions were quite different in those days. With our current instructions, building xulrunner first is both quicker and uses less space (measured on 14.0.1, I haven't built 15.0 yet).
How would people feel about making xulrunner a recommended dep of firefox, and removing the instructions for how to build it on its own - this would make the page rather shorter, and would significantly reduce the amount of testing / measuring needed at each upgrade ? We could, perhaps, explain that xulrunner is now recommended because it gives a smaller and wuicker build. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
