Revisiting this... regarding the lack of 64bit build on linux. mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey is added, but follow-ups set to mozilla.support.seamonkey as I think it's time that the issue be debated/discussed. Why is it that the 'nightly' builds of SeaMonkey generally include a 64bit build, but the final releases do not? Examples: <http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-central-trunk/> [seamonkey-2.1a1pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2] <http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/> [seamonkey-2.0.2pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 04-Jan-2010 02:13 14M] [seamonkey-2.0.3pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 09-Jan-2010 00:53 14M] Yet: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/ <http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.0.1/linux-i686/en-US/> only offers this: seamonkey-2.0.1.tar.bz2 06-Dec-2009 11:22 13M In the past the devs (Kairo primarily) have mumbled statements to the effect that 64bit SeaMonkey releases aren't available and require contributor builds. Why is this, they are available in the nightlies etc? Here's a key example of why such builds are necessary; I load up a new 64bit laptop with linux. I load the standard seamonkey-2.0.1.tar.bz2 and no, *zero*, *none* plugins are available on the system. However, if I load the seamonkey-2.0.3pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 on the exact same system without making any changes to the ~/.mozilla folder, most of the plugins fire right up - including a 32bit flash plugin that works in Firefox. 64bit flash & java issues are for another post. So here is the question for the devs & primarily for Kairo: why is it that the 64bit linux builds are *always* available in the nightlies, but never on the final releases? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
