Created attachment 24555 [details] updated Moz ebuild Line 141 refers to mozilla-pango.patch . This is simply the pango patch referred to in ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.6/contrib/README-pango , http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=138471 Problem still persists in mozilla-1.6-r1 . I assume the patch doesn't break functionality otherwise present in either Hindi or other languages, correct? Have you tested the patch with 1.6 and verified functionality? Yes, patch works perfectly with 1.6 . I can send you the patch for 1.6-r1 if you like .... Aniruddha Shankar Created attachment 27088 [details]
Mozilla 1.6-r1 ebuild with patch for pango
this is the updated moz ebuild... please please merge this into portage
Regarding the 1.6 patch, we won't do that. 1.6 is marked stable on all our platforms and the current approach described in mozilla's bugzilla no longer applies to that version. However I read through http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215219 and it sounds like this will make 1.7-final. I tried the latest patch mentioned in the bug and it fails at build-time starting with nsFontMetricsXft.cpp:751: error: `mPointSize' undeclared Due to these issues, and the fact that we don't want to attempt to maintain this patch at the distribution level, I'm closing this WONTFIX. Hopefully it will make 1.7-final. Sorry! |
