N900 web browser source code
 

Hi, I currently have some time on my hands, and was thinking I could try to update our little browser a bit. I'm quite experienced with developing on windows, but not as good with linux developement (just some simple sys admin stuff).

Anyway, that aside I'd like to download source of default browser and play with it. Replace rendering, and javascript engine with something more up to date.

I saw maemo 5 developement kit, and if I understood correctly, that contains image for virtual machine?

It would be nice if you could give me couple of pointers on obtaining browser source, and replacing/updating default browser once the code's compiled since I'm not very good with linux package managers and packaging and stuff. Thanks!

As far as I know it's not open. Which is a real pisser.

Parts are open, parts are closed. See https://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages and http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/

That page is rather outdated and does not refer to Maemo5.

Jonwil & Romaxa are the men to ask. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75590&page=2

Also, please take note of old glibc dependency for closed source package browser-neteal.

AFAIK romaxa updated the sources on garage to reflect what is in the repo.

I think only the rendering engine is open, as it's Mozilla Gecko. The UI around that (menus, toolbars, scrolling, bookmark management etc.) is closed.
