It is not especially hard to repack the binary builds that Mozilla produces (I do it), so if you don't want ESR you don't have to use it. If you do repack rather than recompile the KDE/FF bug does not appear.
|
As far as I know the KDE/FF bug only appeared in 14.0, but not in -current, so this shouldn't be a problem anyway. The problem with repacking the binaries is that they are, AFAIK, not compiled with PGO, which means they come with sub-standard performance.
|
two small clarifications:
- the bug actually is between oxygen-gtk2 (the default gtk theme under kde) and firefox >= 22.0 on slackware64-14.0 (14.0 32bit and current/14.1 are not affected): it manifests also under xfce if you use the oxygen-gtk2 theme with it (firefox segfaults); - the binaries from mozilla are, AFAIK, built with PGO. |

actually it is the Slackware binaries that are not compiled with PGO. from http://ftp.uninett.no/pub/linux/slac...fox.SlackBuild

To use the non-ESR version of firefox I distilled the infrastructure from the xap/mozilla-firefox-24.0esr-x86_64-1.txz package into the attached package (rename .txt to .txz), the slack-desc of which reads:
Code:
mozilla-firefox-infra: mozilla-firefox (Mozilla Firefox Web browser) infrastructure Note that to install a new firefox version you just have to replace the /usr/lib64/firefox directory. Note too that the .tar.bz2 can also be a localized one. :D |

Because that is the entire point of blacklisting, to allow you to prevent slackpkg from manipulating packages you don't want it to touch. Blacklisting is already in wide use in the Slackware community. Why make a new system based on obscure naming, which seems flawed. Off the top of my head:
I'm not planning on changing my script in this regard but if you would like to use it and decide you would prefer go down the nonstandard name route by all means edit it locally. ;) |
OK, let us agree to disagree then.
Kind regards, Dick :D |
