Flock Browser 2.6a
Flock Browser 2.6a
Here is a nice piece of bloatware to play with. This is actually version 2.6a, but I only realised that after I had packaged it.
Because this is for Puppy, I have removed the need for dbus libraries and also disabled Gnome support.
Here is a picture of it:
Looks like fun hey?
Anyway, here's the files: Flock 2.6a PET
You may need to do this:click to use the Skydrive online storage thingy. It just a small browser setting.
Enjoy!

Ok. I'll do it tonight, i have to burn a liveCD first. The environment is fairly portable so it shouldn't be too hard.gposil wrote:Any chance of doing it with dbus and gconf for use in Dpup....
I did try to do Chrome(ium) as well, but it was fairly tedious plus when I was compiling it needed to open an FTP, a NFS and some other port that escapes me. It kind of made me reach for the foil hat.

On Puppy 4.3.1 is supports flash. It basically drags in the plugin already there which is used by Seamonkey-1.1.1.18. That's the beauty of all these mozilla based browsers...WHEN they work, they all work pretty much the same.Lobster wrote:thanks sikpuppy
I recently installed and was using this in Ubuntu
and tried the Youtube link
It had no Flash and I was forced to ferret around for the .so
using the command line [shudder]
Does this pet support Flash? If not - easy to set up?

Oh, ok.dejan555 wrote:I tried flock on dpup already before, just downloaded binary packages from site and unpacked and it works.
It's about the same size, 13Mb compressed in a tarball. So should I still go ahead, or is it a waste of time?
*edit* mine is about 35Mb extracted, the official package works out to about 37Mb.

sikpuppy,
it looks like you needn't bother, if it works out of the box in Dpup, it probably will in 4.3.1 as well...as far as the size comparison(uncompressed) goes, here it is...(in Dpup)
Cheers

- Firefox 3.5.5 --> 30Mb
Flock 2.6a --> 35Mb
Opera 10.10b static --> 36Mb
SM2.0 --> 41Mb
Cheers

Okies. I'll have a fiddle with dpup anyway, looks interesting.gposil wrote:sikpuppy,

Bonjour à tous,

Légion étrangère française au secours, pourriez-vous partager votre version réduite ....
Sur un autre point, serait-il possible pour vous de regarder Dpup quand vous obtenez la chance et me donner quelques conseils sur l'internationalisation ...
Merci
BTW...please pardon my bad schoolboy French...

Bonjour à tous,
@ gposil,
I just removed the following files from flock/chrome :
browser.jar, browser.manifest, classic.jar, classic.manifest, fbranding.jar, fbranding.manifest, flock.jar, flock.manifest, flock-skin.jar, flock-skin.manifest, toolkit.jar and toolkit.manifest.
I am working on Puppy 4.31 to localize it in french for now. I'll turn on Dpup very quickly. I look forward to the beta5 version.
Cordialement

Why? Doesn't that remove all the functionality? Without those it's just another Chrome lookalike. Or maybe Chrome is a Flock lookalikeesmourguit wrote: I just removed the following files from flock/chrome :

In any case...if you are going to cut something down to size wouldn't Firefox be a prime candidate?

I went here and downloaded (wot they want my email for? - 'directed spam'? - or some other spurious excuse no doubt) Email is not needed for download you Flockers. Pardon my French also . . .

Seem to works OK in 4.3.1 as sikpuppy mentions with Flash for Youtube
I remember using it when it was based on Firefox 1
Is it still based on Firefox 1 and that browsers inherent stability?

Nope. Based on the same xulrunner code as Seamonkey 2 and Firefox 3.x I think.Lobster wrote:I went here and downloaded (wot they want my email for? - 'directed spam'? - or some other spurious excuse no doubt) Email is not needed for download you Flockers. Pardon my French also . . .

Hmmz, it may be impractiacal, but I wonder if these browsers can be made to use a central liibary, or if they need their own partitioned library. As in, if the binary executables be in one directory with symlinks a go go to the libraries for mozilla.
Just a thought....maybe a daft one. The space saving would be massive, and then you could just plug any mozilla based browser in, like a small plugin...

Bonjour à tous,
It was just an experiment. I wanted to get rid of all superfluous in Flock.

Yep...Flock is identical backend to FF3.5+....just wish I had more time...but !!! Maybe someone who is not working on a project could have a look at sikpuppy's idea...it would work, and it would also give you the backend for Kompozer, Thunderbird and Sunbird as well...

Hmmmmz alright!
The base being xulrunner, if that were compiled and installed.. could we symlink the libs to /usr/lib and then compile all the other mozilla apps against those??? (* methinks yes *)
Cheers
