The other solution is use a vfb server to do the work required as root, but I've bad feedback on this. I carefully documented what is done. Most of the patches have real sense in a Unix env and does't violates any mozilla policies. I posted this to now: - If any of the patches have a side ill efect. - If any of the patches have any problem with mozilla logos or trademarks - If sugested fixes/functionality don't get the price. Please, review this, bit by bit. Most of this (I'm not sure about all) may be valid for, at last, a 'comunity release'. Also, part of this can be make from extra-patches and controlled from options if you need branding for official builds. you can get a better view of all this work by $ cd wk $ tar -xjf .../firefox-1.0-source.tar.bz2 $ fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox_1.0+dfsg.1-1.diff.gz $ cd mozilla $ zcat ../mozilla-firefox_1.0+dfsg.1-1.diff.gz patch -p1 Right now, get a way to install extension/themes/langpacks from ports seems most important that mozilla icons (none of our ports works with the new firefox/thunderbird extensions manager). -- josemi
