This is really fantastic. What would it take to get your package into Extras? I'm only really interested in the stable releases.

Would you upload stable version to Extras? This way anyone who had already installed from Ovi would see the update (not everyone is continuosly checking TMO).

Once stable had reached Extras, you could also upload nightly to Devel.

yes it can be uploaded to devel
but don't use fennec (as a package name) so no conflicts happens with other repositories

use for ex : fennec-night
or fennec-devel

or pick up something from your mind

Nightly works, many thanks. It is in deed quicker than previous versions.

For those interested: the No Script Anywhere (NSA) plugin works as well.
But you need to surf to the plug in webpage to D/L and install.

Actually, I think exactly the opposite. One of the purposes of the repositories is precisely to be able to seamlessly upgrade the applications. Packaging first the stable version of Firefox would give all users the ability to easy upgrade the version from OVI.

Use Adblock nightly to have Adblock.

As far as putting it in Extras, I will need to do more research on the branding. I am not sure I can upload this as "Fennec" with the Mozilla art work, but I am not changing any of the source, so maybe I can.

here's a guide to building the qt version which has always been faster

http://developer.mikek.dk/#post50

one thing i'm very interested in is html5 video. fennec on the n900 seems to be the only version/platform which allows gstreamer as a backend, which means we can play h264 or webm html5 videos and not care who wins the webm/h264 format war.

but to enable gstreamer support you need this line:

ac_add_options --enable-gstreamer

in your mozconfig file before compiling.

i've just installed this nightly 12a, and indeed it's slower than the qt version i have (10a), also it hasn't been compiled to use the gstreamer back end, as all the h264 html5 videos on this test page don't play

http://shapeshed.com/examples/HTML5-video-element/

what are the chances we could get a gstreamer enabled qt version compiled?

I never saw a performance difference between GTK and Qt builds so I think any opinion on the matter is purely subjective.

In regards to a binary build, I tried one and it failed to link properly. I won't be spending time on correcting it, but you're more than able to try yourself.

Well, i'd give up any percieved qt performance for a gtk version with gstreamer baked in. Do you have any plans for such a build?
