For what it's worth, the latest available Solaris package for SeaMonkey (the direct successor to "Mozilla" on Solaris 10) is 2.0b2: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.0b1 (bottom of page) In the 1.x branch, the latest for SPARC is 1.1.18: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/1.1.18 and the latest for x86 is 1.1.15: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/1.1.15 (again bottom of the page for both). At the moment, the latest available from spec-files-extra is 1.1.19 and building from the spec is untested on Solaris 10. I've put an OpenSolaris/x86 binary package up, and it is available at: http://www.greenviolet.net/Solaris/PKGs/OpenSolaris-x86/SFEseamonkey-1.1.9-x86.i386.pkg (provided, of course, with no guarantee/warranty/etc.)
You can, of course, find more about SeaMonkey at their home page: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ --Matt -- Matt Lewandowsky Greenviolet http://greenviolet.net/ > Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:42:02 -0700 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [sysadmin-discuss] Mozilla question > > Gregory Hicks wrote: >>> Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:10:12 -0700 >>> From: Alan Coopersmith <[email protected]> >>> >>> CAMPS wrote: >>>> Is the Mozilla browser that comes native with solaris the same as >> Firefox.
