Firefox 1.0.2 Indic enabled build
There are several security problems with firefox 1.0. Firefox 1.0.1 fixed many and firefox 1.0.2 fixed the rest. Ofcourse, these are needed in the ealier firefox 1.0 pango build I have made. So me and my team mate Manish made a new build of firefox 1.0.2 with pango patches. This build is much better than the previous one.
- The build is now an installer. So it is easy to install.
- This one has more pango patches including the selection patch and more patches from fedora CVS.
- The earlier build had a problem that it was asking for some strange libraries (libdnet) as depdencies. Well, this one has entirely same requirements as official firefox build.
- Earlier build required you to install latest pango first. But, that is a pain for most users in most distributions. This build has a solution to it. The system does not need latest pango for this build. The installer comes with pango libraries of its own.
BTW, while making this build, I encoutered a bug in the installer and fixed it. Yey! my first contribution (yes, I’d like to call it contribution) to the browser born for world domination. Also had to make a small change to pango to make it work from anywhere instead of standard locations.
It wil take some time to put it for download on sarovar. Apparently, sarovar is not taking large releases (about 10m) in a straight forward way. So I put it for download here. Get it now! Here is the old screenshot.
