The difference tha...@Anon asking about Swiftweasel. The difference that I can see is that it is built for specific architectures (Intel, AMD, etc) If you set up your make.conf correctly, portage will do exactly that. It will even strip the branding by default if you build it yourself. Swiftweasel on Gentoo is pointless.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231281351896391673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701969077517001201.post-58394681301193295322010-03-19T17:10:43.556+05:302010-03-19T17:10:43.556+05:30This was really confusing and I went throught all ...This was really confusing and I went throught all of it. First sqlite install, just for firefox. Then use flag for secure-delete and nor it's gone again :)<br /><br />Nice to know how dynamic the devs react on the feedback in bug reports<br /><br />Thanks!disihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713027335659629450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701969077517001201.post-11899302917435402842010-02-23T22:16:06.504+05:302010-02-23T22:16:06.504+05:30Thanks for your work

For example:<br /><br />> <br />> * --with-pthreads: It's not necessary to specify --with-pthreads<br />> because using pthreads is the default. It should be harmless<br />> to specify --with-pthreads, but I would delete the option.<br /><br />> I just wanted to make sure you do NOT specify --enable-ipv6. That<br />> option is not necessary for Linux. On Linux NSPR will automatically<br />> detect at run time if IPv6 can be used.<br /><br />According to Gentoo guidelines, "Packages should not configure and link based<br />upon what is available at compile time — any autodetection must be overridden."<br /><br />http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/use-flags/index.html<br /><br />So it's wrong to have the package detect the presence of pthreads and ipv6 (or<br />anything else for that matter.) This should be controlled by USE flags.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701969077517001201.post-67018895344253732292010-02-22T03:31:53.167+05:302010-02-22T03:31:53.167+05:30Many thanks for that very interesting post!
