I want to try monodevelop, which depends on libgecko-cil (a mono binding for embedding Moz) which in turn depends on mozilla-browser. However, many other interesting packages also depend on mozilla-browser.
I build mozilla from source, and don't install it via a .deb or even install it at all, I just run explicitly from its own directory, not in the normal /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. After I build it I just copy dist/bin somewhere and launch moz explicitly from there. I like it like that: because then no apps are really cognizant of Moz's existence unless I explicitly wire them up, which I consider A Good Thing. I suppose I'll just have to make a dummy mozilla-browser package with equivs and install that, and deal with breakages myself. Do you think that will be feasible? Why do all these packages explictly depend on mozilla-browser? Don't most people run Firefox now? If I just make "mozilla" launchible on the path, won't that satisfy what most of these packages are looking for, except the ones which try to embed mozilla? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
