SeaMonkey 2.2

I have compiled SeaMonkey 2.2 in Wary. I did report a lockup problem with 2.2beta3, but that did not re-occur, see report here:
http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/201107/seamonkey-22beta3.html

I'm running 2.2 right now. Starts fast, snappy performance. So, I reckon this will be in the next release of Wary.

But, if you want it now (16MB, 4.8MB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/seamonkey-2.2-w5.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/seamonkey_DEV-2.2-w5.pet

I now consider Wary to be the "base system", and applications compiled in Wary should work in other puppies such as Lucid, Drake, Spup and Dpup.

Seamonkey 2.2
Username: tronkel
"Very snappy in Wary 5.1.2 It also runs the Google Android AppInventor using the Seamonkey 2.2 version as well as the older default Wary version of Seamonkey - something that the latest Firefox 5 running under Ubuntu 11.04 can't seem to do! No excuse now for the Puppy Android developers not to flood the market,(assuming such an unusual species can be found in the wild).

"For whatever reason, on my comp Seamonkey 2.2 seems to have a slightly snappier ui than Firefox 4+ Critics notwithstanding, Seamonkey and Puppy continue to go hand-in-hand.

"Hi Barry Can you post your latest .mozconfig please? I compiled it ok but it's a bit bloated, runs well though. I notice they did a quick update from the buggy 2.1! Still has the F11 fullscreen bug with jwm for me though :(

hardcoding mozilla profile
Username: 01micko
"I have been experimenting with putting all the hard coded puppy stuff in the actual /lib/seamonkey directory instead of having a hard coded profile. This was a big stumbling block when trying to implement that "browsesafe" app I made (browsing as non-root). If you wanted to browse as anyone other than root all settings were lost. Actally ttuuxxx put me onto the idea. It seems to work ok, I just merged the stuff into /lib/seamonky and fonts, cache, home.htm, default download dir work. There is a problem though.. what if you want to ship with add ons? I tried it with sqlite manager and that was a fail. Ttuuxx is good with this sort of stuff so if he doesn't read this I might PM him.

Composer bug
Username: BarryK
"Composer has an annoying bug, the cursor is invisible. Click anywhere in the text of an open html file, no cursor. But it is there, click <backspace> key to delete a character, suddenly cursor appears. I have encountered this bug in SeaMonkey a couple of time over the last couple of years, in alpha/beta releases, never in a final release, until now.

Base system
Username: BarryK
"GCMartin, I don't know what you are asking. By "base system" I simply mean the version of Puppy that we can compile in, with greatest likelyhood that the application will run in all other puppies. Developers have been compiling in Puppy4 or even Puppy3 for this reason. I am just "raising the bar" so to speak. For apps that I am putting into the 'common' repo for all puppies to use, I am compiling them in Wary.
