The answer I got from Gentoo's Mozilla Team when I proposed bumping it |
| 31 |
to latest from the Firefox tarball was that "use npapi-sdk or |
| 32 |
spidermonkey instead". |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Some which have needed more than just npapi-sdk or spidermonkey have |
| 35 |
happily migrated to gtkhtml, or webkit-gtk. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So I don't think it really makes sense to package and **maintain** |
| 38 |
something upstream doesn't support, therefore I'm agreeing with the |
| 39 |
Gentoo's Mozilla Team decision on this. |
| 40 |
So no xulrunner anymore, even if that means losing 'chmsee' and 'kiwix'. |
