Galeon and Woody
Well, i'd love to see galeon in woody, as it's the best browser i know.
But it's having _serious_ issues with upgrades, i don't know yet how to
fix.
At this point, galeon is _very_ difficult to use if you upgrade or
install gconf2 subsequently. If it works with gconf2 at all right now;
the package in unstable apparently does NOT.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71183
So upstream considers this as "critical".
Or let me put it this way: Galeon is ready for woody, but not for
testing or stable... :-(
Upstream CVS galeon looks like gconf2-only;
at least the galeon-config-tool.in file is.
Maybe we should make galeon depend on gconf2?
BTW: What do you think of galeon 1.1 ?
I have galeon 1.1.3 packages on http://people.debian.org/~erich/
sorry, forgot to upload the source as well apparently...
But it works really fine for me, so i'd like to update galeon to 1.1.3
soon; at least if i see any solution to the gconf2 issue...
Upstream is settling down to release 1.2 soon, I heard.
So maybe we can get 1.2 into woody, too.
And do NOT forget: Galeon depends on Mozilla, and mozilla is having
quite a lot of bugs, too. Mostly upstream that is.
Greetings,
Erich
