Bug 86872 – Apply patches to firefox to allow proper built of epiphany and galeon against it

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hanno Böck 2005-03-27 08:54:48 UTC]

Can you consider applying the patches at
http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/MozillaPatches
to the firefox-ebuild?
Epiphany and Galeon can be built against firefox, but with some problems that will be fixed by these patches.

[Comment 1 Daniel Westermann-Clark 2005-03-27 09:07:48 UTC]

I'll attach a diff to the ebuild and patches shortly.

[Comment 2 Daniel Westermann-Clark 2005-03-27 09:08:38 UTC]

Created attachment 54603 [details, diff]
diff to current mozilla-firefox-1.0.2-r1 ebuild

This adds the five necessary patches listed at
http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/MozillaPatches, and enables the typeaheadfind
extension for browsers which embed Firefox.  Patches to be attached.

Created attachment 54604 [details]
Set of 5 patches to Firefox source for embedding

I compressed the set of patches to reduce bug noise, sorry if this bothers
anyone.  Notes are in the ebuild diff.

Since these patches are primarily for embedding, Firefox as a browser is not
affected.

if none of the patches have to be rediffed I will add them into a test build ..
and we will move forward from there.

[Comment 6 Jory A. Pratt 2005-07-23 23:52:15 UTC]

mozilla-1.0.6-r3 is in the tree. sorry it took a while.

[Comment 7 Daniel Westermann-Clark 2005-07-28 20:47:13 UTC]

The patches applied for me and seem to work.

There is a small issue with typeahead find - the status messages are not
displayed at the bottom of the window.  I will try to look into this over the
weekend.
