So it looks like pronvit has abandoned this project, but thankfully he left us
the code
. Not the last version unfortunately, so kinetic scrolling is missing, and the customized webkit source is missing as well.
Since this project is far too good to let it rot, I decided to try to give it a spin. Turns out it was not too hard to convert the project to use
bundyo's webkit package
, and with a few changes, it is now running reasonably well.
I uploaded the
svn diff and debian package
to my site. The version name is 0.0.9.1 to make clear this is not based on the 0.10 released by pronvit and really a downgrade (no kinetic scrolling). So re-implementing kinetic scrolling is what I'll eventually tackle next. Since I suck at writing C any help is really welcome.
PS: I did contact pronvit before starting to hack on this, and really hope we still hear from him, because I love the kinetic scrolling he implemented.
