Re: Tear 0.3.1 - a would be beta WebKit based browser
 

Bundyo, i will try to build source package suitable for autobuilder. Please let me know if you have something newer that this diff

tso
What exactly bugfixes do you mean? I don't know from what exactly svn revision 0.3.5-2 was compiled. 0.3.6 was forked from revision 55, last revision that can be compiled on diablo. So, it probably contains all changes that ever worked on diablo. Of course, some fixes from fremantle branch can be backported, if you will point me what exactly you need.

hrmf, i cant find the posts talking about them right now.

basically the problem was that bookmarked pages do not show up in the url entry suggestions (or whatever its called), or the dashboards "most used" tab. And bundyo claimed to have fixed them after i reported the problem.

Thanks, i will try to find the fix in newer sources in fremantle branch

Before (can't find the thread) I thought you said it wasn't possible to update at least the of the libraries (something about soup?) b/c it was too big, and that library was responsible for some of Tear's nastiest unpatched bugs (most notably DPad left freeze in an edit box but maybe also jerking after tap-and-hold and "open in a new tab"). I would be thrilled it you discovered there was a way after all!

If it turns out there isn't an official way to deliver a newer package, is there an unofficial way? For example, download it, gain root, and slap it in the right place? Or can the community SSU lift the size restriction?

BTW, Mitrandir, a number of people are currently using Qole's repository to get Tear (see Tear link in my sig). But getting it into Extras would be even better.

iirc, the bundyo-provided webkit uses glib for unicode to save on space, as earlier variants made use of a different unicode lib that was some 10MB in size. Not exactly N8*0 friendly unless you where booting from SD.

No, the problems come from CURL. We can try updating Diablo's libsoup to 2.4, which should help. I don't know how much more blockers there will be after that.

Re: Tear 0.3.1 - a would be beta WebKit based browser
 

maybe check with the community ssu people?

Re: Tear 0.3.1 - a would be beta WebKit based browser
 

There are problems with libsoup2.4 too. It turns out that libsoup2.4 depends on glib 2.16.0, but we only have 2.12.12 on diablo :( Correct me if i'm wrong. This makes it impossible to build any significantly newer webkit revision with neither CURL nor libsoup.

Of course, i can imagine that we can build huge static library including newer versions of webkit, glib, gtk, libsoup, and other dependencies, but this isn't good way either...

buurmas, thanks for pointing on qole's repository. If it will turn out that there is no easy way to build source-deb for webkit, i will ping qole to include 0.3.6 in his repository.

Re: Tear 0.3.1 - a would be beta WebKit based browser
 

Yes, this is correct.

However libsoup 2.4 only needs GChecksum and GHashTableIter to compile. I started today integrating copies of these types directly in libsoup 2.4.1. It already compiles, but doesn't link - I'll check it out tonight. Its certainly better than using static libs.

Great! Please keep us updated
