Subject description: a script to get the latest firefox or seamonkey in your language		  
Yet another command line tool

This tool will download and install (with menu entry) Firefox or Seamonkey in your language automatically, or you can override and get English (en-US)

This one has potential though. It could well be the backend for some smart looking GUI to grab the latest stable Firefox or Seamonkey direct from your closest Mozilla mirror. (sc0ttman, stu90, Tman.. whoever.. I'm tossing you guys a bone Wink )

It uses the curl application to parse web pages and download the goods.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

EDIT 111201:

I have i18n'd the script and also made a very simple gui add on NOTE: if you get the GUI you absolutely need the main package! GUI is i18n'd too, crude Spanish trans included (did I mention it's crude?)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

TODO: localise the script (might be a good one for L18L's tool Cool )

Lovely stuff, I just upgraded to FF7.0.1 (before seeing this) ... This will be of great use to me! Very Happy Cheers mick

EDIT:: Gripe coming: I hope the latest FF, SM etc use libc6 2.10 (like wary)... I find it a real pain Barry went for 2.10 when Lupu had already gone for 2.11.. As well as chrome, and many other svn/nightly builds needing 2.11 Sad

About localising, PLEASE dont use gettext, its such a pain - once the english is updated, all other locales break... Do it Technos way:

var="french stuff"
${var:-english stuff}

Very Happy

Thank you, Mick.
It looks like it will be very useful for me as well. I got too much stuff going on to look at it in detail at the moment, but I will see if I can implement your code into my downloader at a later time. For now I will stick to what works for me. But I see the potential of your code saving a lot of time in the future, if I don't have to manually make packages for Seamonkey. I will still be making them for Firefox, though.

Ok, I i18n'd the script with L18L's method, works good with a rough Spanish trans. Also added the ability to use -o option with a browser option.

Also knocked up a demo gui to show how to use the script backend with a gtkdialog frontend. You could use YAD or Xdialog or whatever gui tool, even xmessage (yes xmessage!)

See main post

Code:
# LANG=es_ES
# get_mozilla_browser -h
conexión se puede

get_mozilla_browser-0.2
Invocar con "get_mozilla_browser" y se le ofrece una selección de
"firefox" o "seamonkey" más estable navegadores directamente desde Mozilla
en su entorno local por omisión, si existe.
   firefox [Firefox es la elección]
   seamonkey [Seamonkey es la elección]
   -h | - help [muestra este mensaje]
   -o | - override [auto anula la elección local, se en-US]

Hmm.. likely sc0ttman's issue. I tested only in Slacko but I expect it would work in Lupu, Dpup. hoping for Wary/Racy. However I should have tested for dbus too, as it is not in Wary/Racy.

I have prepared the script for t12s method.

But...

and again:

Cannot open new console now

Maybe cleaning temp files did clean too much ???

Thanks Micko, great stuff!

(Remember all those discussions in the past, when users were complaining devs were not listening to their needs?...haha)

Two questions:

- Will the browser be able to auto-upgrade with your system?

- There must be a good reason you're offering this only for the Mozilla browsers. Would it technically be possible to add other browsers like Opera and the Chromium family to your script somewhere in the future?

Thanks again!

EDIT 12/12: Embarassed Embarassed that last one was a really stupid question, I now realize, Opera and Chrome-browsers have all languages aboard... Next time will try to think a little before adding noise to the forum Embarassed

I just stumbled on 01micko's get_mozilla_browser and have been mucking around with it. Some things have changed; it is circa 2011 after all.

I need permanently placed graphics for firefox and seamonkey to replace non-existant files in tahr-6.0.5. The gui demo needs to have these icons.

/usr/share/icons/[firefox.png and seamonkey.png] - they do not exist
graphic files qfirefox.png and qseamonkey.png exists but what are they for? What application(s) use them? Are they guaranteed to be in later puppies?

/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/[mozilla.xpm and seamonkey16.xpm] - they do not exist

My guess is that when firefox and seamonkey were in all breeds of puppies, the dev included the .xpm files and a graphic in /usr/share/icons/ that was always available, but they don't when the browser is not a part of the ootb puppy. Neither firefox or seamonkey is included in a pristine tahr-6.0.5.


I think I can get around the problem by:

1. including the requisite graphics in the pet and installing them to /usr/share/icons/ so the icons are available for the demo even when the browser does not come with the puppy.
2. using appropriately sized .png files instead of .xpm, including them in the pet and installing them to /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/

But I have to learn to reconstruct the pets. I suppose the icons I'll add will be placed in /usr/ and then archive the lot. Any suggestions are welcomed.
