Subject: Re: Seamonkey as .deb package
Bret Busby wrote on 08/18/2014 01:48 PM:
Hello.
I am hoping that I have not previously posted this query to this list.
As the Debian Project has omitted iceape, its derivative of Seamonkey, from
Debian 7, I am wondering what is the prospect of Seamonkey being released
as a .deb package for installation on Debian 7.
I had tried installing the Seamonkey tarball, according to the published
instructions, and could not then get Seamonkey to work.
As a .deb package, software is usually installed, with all dependencies
taken care of, and the launch link, added to the appropriate desktop menu,
so it makes it all, relatively simple.
The system upon which I was unable to get Seamonkey to work (and I am not
sure that it properly installed), is Debian 7 amd64 LXDE.
I note that, on the web page at
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
the download for MS Windows, is a .exe installer, so I suppose that what I
am seeking, is the equivalent, as a .deb package for Debian 7 amd64 .
Thank you in anticipation.

Hello.
Thank you for the link.
However, of all of the packages listed on that web page, which is/are
the one(s) that I need to download and install, to get the full
Seamonkey suite installed on the particular system?
Thank you in anticipation.
