Bug#510348: Dillo removal
I've removed dillo from lenny, as it should be obvious that we can't accept a new gtk port at this time in the freeze. I've uploaded claws-mail in t-p-u, disabling the dillo plugin. Bug with diff to follow shortly. Thanks, Neil -- weasel dpkg: shut up dpkg No, I won't, and you can't make me. :P weasel hah. _I_ can signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That's a fairly hasty decision and a severe regression to existing users given that about three percent of all popcon users have dillo installed and about one percent use it frequently. A 30 second peek into the rules files shows that there's even a configure option to disable SSL support... -- ./configure $(CONFFLAGS) \ --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --enable-ipv6 \ --enable-ssl \ --enable-meta-refresh \ --disable-dlgui \ CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) \ -- Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I did check popcon before adding my hint. A 30 second peek into the rules files shows that there's even a configure option to disable SSL support... It also seems to be gtk1.2, which was the other reason for removal. I'm not sure that the requirement to bring in gtk1.2 helps the case for a lightweight browser, especially as we're trying to remove gtk1. Neil -- A.

Noone's trying to deprecate gtk1.2 for Lenny and for Squeeze the gtk2 based version can be uploaded.

There were several efforts to reduce the dependency on gtk1.2, it's only unfortunate that most people were not convinced that we really wanted to get rid of gtk1.2 otherwise it would already have happened.

I'm fully aware of that, actually I was involved in getting GTK1.2 removed. But it's not a valid argument against dropping Dillo at this point.

Apologies, I may not have made it clear: I don't consider a browser without ssl support to be well featured enough for us. We've finally removed the rest of the ones that don't support it, and I'm not keen to introduce another. If you can fix this bug, then I'll look at reintroducing it. Thanks, Neil -- A.
