i guess that would be just a keyboard layout .ini file :]
i have yet to find a thing that is not customisable in opera.

as soon as opera dragonfly catches up with firebug i am a happy camper.

on my eeepc ff3 doesnt feel much faster but it sure plugs numerous

it is much better than ff in many respects.  i often hear the plugin

firebug is the only thing i keep firefox for still around.)

and get this: opera in openbsd's linux emulation is more stable than

After recent changes in sudo, when I upgraded my packages, files in /etc

by bringing up issues to ports attention, you mean you called for
a revert on ports@, because you were so sure it was a problem with ff3.

it's one thing to say, hey guys, something is broken here.  this isn't
my area, can you help me?  please, quickly?, and revert this broken
crap.  we keep old shit all the time.  not only is this broken, it
just sucks.

especially when your example of older software is totally and completely
bogus (or are you telling us we'll have to drop support for some arches
because a port got updated?  are you telling us gcc2 has the same
attack potential as ff?), within minutes of first saying anything was
wrong you started making false claims (it crashes with https), and
you continued to make false claims about ff in general.

then when I asked if you wanted to keep ff2 and maintain it, you
just ran off, making one last no one gives a shit slam.

whose attitude is the joke here?

I am definitely not trying to blame you. I'm just trying to dig into the

FF3 itself is definitely not the problem and the few issues you mentioned in

you'll have less crud (because some things are build dependencies
only) and an easier to maintain system if you just use packages..

where it's sensible we do try and split into subpackages, and make
the onerous _runtime_ dependencies only apply to the subpackages which
need it.

this naturally tends to _increase_ the build dependencies; the aim
of the ports tree is to produce binary packages and where there's a
decision to be made in favour of making things easier for developers
bulk builders and package users, or making things easier for people
using the ports tree to install stuff, we go for the first option.

multiple FLAVORs are hard to maintain: not only does it increase the
build time, but if we have conflicting flavours and some other port
requires one particular flavour to build, but some other (lighter)
flavour is already installed to satisfy a dependency for some other
port, we have a problem for bulk builds.

also, we have enough trouble getting good test reports for things
with just one flavour. add more flavours and we just don't get any
kind of thorough coverage. with the best will in the world,
flavours which aren't included in a bulk build do often end up
totally broken and stay that way. it doesn't make sense to add
to this situation.

  Now, i manually tweak ports to cut the crud out.

feel free, it's your system. other people make different decisions
about the value of disk space vs their time.

 other people make different decisions about the value
 of disk space vs their time.

you seem to simply equate the crud i speak of as taking up
disk-space. you conveniently forget the risk factor of having that
much crud that potentially have security flaws that require ample
time to follow status of and maintain local packages up-to-date.
disk-space hasn't been a problem for at least a decade now. in fact, i
have problem finding smaller, more reasonably sized drives whenever
shopping for one.

decisions other people make don't always make sense either. those
looking for convenience would probably be better off running fedora

That doesn't really show anything, since your config wasn't the one
having the problem. I've upgraded FF many, many times and almost never
encountered problems. Heck, I even moved a config from Windows to
OpenBSD and FF worked perfectly with it.

But now and then, on whatever OS/arch (Windows/OpenBSD/Linux), something
gets messed up with the config and removing the old config fixes the
problem. It's rare, yet common enough to have happened to me several
times over the years.

I find it hilarious that there is this on going thread bitching about FF3 and

The immediate problem is not FF3 but Pango (devel/pango). The ABI changes from

  Just for the record:  I built the package last night and used pkg_add -ui
  to update.  Not a single problem, not whil installing, not while using.
  
  I'd even say that FF3 is a wee bit faster.
 
 In my experience it is indeed, it also is less greedy wrt memory.  And
 no trouble upgrading.  I think it's not good to conclude--without
 further research--from one troublesome upgrade that the whole port
 of ff3 is bad quality.

i think marco has a point there.

when was the last time you ran a plugin for flash, quicktime, vrml or
whatever the crappy-format-of-the-month is? and how about on sparc64?
having firefox complain about missing plugins that will never exist
does no one any good.

ff3

2008-12-07 Thread Marco Peereboom
I did my customary pkg_add -ui and to my total shock firefox went from
2.x to 3.x.  Not so shocking was that ff3 doesn't work after the update.

I want to make a plead to keep 2.x around.  ff3 uses even more resources
than ff2 and it is impractical for my ultra-portable laptop (as an
example).

This change should be reverted.  Here is the output on vanilla i386
after the pkg_add -ui:

Re: ff3

2008-12-07 Thread Predrag Punosevac
Marco,

I deeply respect your work so I hate to see you losing your nerves
over idiotic web-browser. FF is not fixable. FF2 was supposed to fix
FF1 but was even worse. FF3 is supposed to fix FF2 but as we all know
it didn't. I actually put some thinking into the issue of the
web-browser. In mine point of view the only hope for the decent
web-browser is Midori based on WebKit. The one in current port tree is
almost usable  (it is alpha software for now). The another one is
Dillo2 but the lack of OpenSSL implementation and lack of Java-Script
Engine is killing me. If those guys can finally implement OpenSSL at
least instead of coding tabular browsing I will never install any
other graphical browser in my life.
At some point I was so pissed with upstream FF that I installed Opera but
I hate to use Linux compatibility layer.

I noticed your letter about Qemu as well. I have absolutely the same
experience like you (core dump) when I tried to run compiler on the
virtual disk.
I didn't want to react as I could not care less for virtualization and
I know that
most OpenBSD users do not care either.

Since I already wrote about some troubles I experienced with OpenBSD
packages on 4.4 release (I run both i386 and amd64) let me finish with
ffplay problem. It seems that ffplay has problems with playing too fast
on the AC97 chip-set. I think that is well documented so my solution was
to install an old Sound Blaster Live sound card to the workstation I was using.
I guess it could be useful for people to know about it.

Most Kind Regards,

Predrag

because, if you don't speak up no one will think there is anything wrong.

I spoke up about cramming crap-load of needless dependencies into
ports w/o giving the end user a choice in the matter (e.g., building
gimp with python, etc.). I don't think it got me anywhere, but at
least i voiced my opinion. my voice doesn't carry much weight, but I
was hoping that logic would.

It is one thing to make sure software available on linux platforms are
able to install and work on OpenBSD. It is completely another issue to
morph OpenBSD into linux with each package install.

It would seem they updated the port to 2.0.0.16 today.

Hope that helps.
