[WSG] Safari for Linux

2007-05-18 Thread Mordechai Peller 
Not actually Safari, but its rendering and JavaScript engine, Webcore. 
I'm still in the process of building and installing the packages (it's 
taking a while to compile). What I was wondering is if anyone has any 
experience with this, and if so, how does it compare to Safari in 
rendering and JavaScript?


For those interested, the files can be found at:

On a related note, in KDE4, Konqueror I've read that they'll either be 
moving from KHTML to Webcore or offering either or both as options. Does 
anybody have anymore info on this? Currently, KHTML is probably better 
than Webcore in terms of CSS support; will this be a step back for 
Konqueror or a step forward for Safari?

It depends on which version of WebCore they're planning to use. If,  
by the time they make the switch, there is a stable version including  
the enormous number of bug fixes and CSS enhancements that are  
currently only available in the nightly builds, then it will be a  
great step forward for both Konqueror and Safari.


I really wish we didn't have to wait for Leopard before getting a  
stable version of Safari containing all the good stuff that's been  
fixed and added :-(


Cheers,

Nick.
