Description Christian Persch 2005-03-19 10:35:26 UTC 
When building firefox from source as a dependency for Epiphany, garnome should
apply the patches from http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/MozillaPatches (at least
those of 'critical' and 'high' importance).
Comment 1 Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-03-21 02:47:08 UTC 
First of all, thanks Christian, for collecting a bunch of important bugs and
letting us know. We will have a look at the patches soon.

But then, this feels pretty strange to me. I mean, most of the bugs have been
mentioned 2 months ago on that wiki. Which is a way of reaching at least some of
the users -- but it sure is not the correct way to let developers know... No one
expects developers to track his project's bugzilla and a bunch of "random" wiki
pages, no?

If there are any important patches which apply to GARNOME, please file them in
bugzilla.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2005-03-21 23:14:24 UTC 
That wiki page isn't meant for users or developers; it's for distributors. It
contains patches that we, the Epiphany developers, recommend to be applied to
mozilla (resp. firefox) sources, so fix bugs which affect Epiphany.

I'd recommend that garnome uses all patches labelled 'critical' and 'high' from
that page when compiling firefox.

Those patches are filed in bugzilla; mozilla's. They have, however, not yet been
applied upstream.
Comment 3 Paul Drain 2005-04-26 08:15:45 UTC 
Done, All the patches applicable to our version of Firefox have been applied to
GARNOME 2.10.1.
