Bug#350740: seamonkey 1.1
Hello list,
After talking to Alex Vincent and some more research, Alex and I came
to the conclusion that it's probably a smart move to start building
Seamonkey 1.1. This version is currently in Alpha, but the final is
expected within six weeks.
So I built a series of packages of the 1.1 version.
You can find the packages here: http://hjh.passys.nl/Debian/Experimental
A word on the nspr and nss libs: I had a lot of troubles with
conflicting versions of these libs of xulrunner. Apparently Mike built
xulrunner so that the -dev files contain links to the libraries with
their basenames (so without the -0d). This means that when you install
the xulrunner dev files, you can not have any other version of nspr or
nss installed (this also goes for the mozilla 1.7.x versions!).
To bypass these issues, I created the libnspr4-sm and libnss3-sm
packages. These install the files in /usr/lib/seamonkey to avoid
conflicts. The devel files of these libs are installed in
/usr/include/seamonkey
Basing Seamonkey on xulrunner is NOT a good idea. It's simply not
stable. As soon as there is a suiterunner it will be possible, and
then it should be build that way of course.
