Current FF3 unmask list

Added this to [/etc/portage/package.keywords] on [mediacenter], to get FF3:

# === Unmask Firefox 3 ===
# MDM This list keeps getting longer...
www-client/mozilla-firefox
dev-libs/nspr
dev-libs/nss
net-libs/xulrunner
www-client/epiphany
dev-util/intltool
gnome-extra/yelp
dev-libs/glib
x11-libs/gtk+
media-libs/libcanberra
gnome-base/gail
# ======= end FF3 =======

You also need [xulrunner] USE flag in [/etc/make.conf].
[desktop] required an [emerge –unmerge gail].
All desktops are using FF 3.0.4 at this time.

[subversion] USE flag now required to get git-svn

Added [subversion] to make.conf. gentoo tracks this flag on the git package to determine whether to install git-svn or not. I can’t imagine anywhere that I wouldn’t want svn support, so I made it global.

FF3 on all gentoo boxxen

Just bumped everything up to FF 3.0.3. One snag on desktop: needed to add [xulrunner] USE flag to [/etc/make.conf]. Check out how fast I got a response to my comment on gentoo’s bugzilla! Sweet. aifol.

Desktop gets a bump!

Took the AMD X2 cpu and 1GB from poor dead mediacenter and dropped it into my desktop. Instant upgrade, ZERO problems. Now THAT is fun.

Time to order mediacenter hardware. Ebony is dragging me to Sam’s Club to check out a $1000 52″ 1080p HDTV, the bar may be rising soon…
