# uxp-browsers/cfg - "Build" settings for package

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

[technotes]

1. This package builds the  following six XUL-compatible and Rust-free
programs (b):

Most useful:

      * AlbusLuna     - Revived Classic Firefox
      * Ambassador    - Revived Chatzilla
      * Basilisk      - A newer-style UXP-based browser
      * Epyrus        - A Classic Thunderbird fork (a)

Less maintained, abandoned, or obsolete:

      * Blue Gorilla  - Revived SeaMonkey (abandoned)
      * Icedove       - Revived Icedove aka Classic Thunderbird

(a) Epyrus is recommended over Icedove because, as of this writing, it
is the most maintained. Icedove is nearly abandoned.

(b) The note about Rust isn't  intended  to deprecate  Rust as a lang-
uage.  But Rust can complicate offline builds of browsers to the point
where it's pretty much impossible.

These programs can be built for either 64-bit Linux or 32-bit Linux.

To build for 32-bit Linux, boot a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit distro and
proceed from there. This is just so that you can access enough RAM for
the build. The programs produced should work using a 32-bit kernel  on
the same 32-bit distro.

For a change-log, see the file "CHANGES" in the source tarball.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Additional notes.

2.1. These programs are built  on top of the UXP platform.  The bundle
source tree includes at least  one version of  the UXP source tree and
may include multiple versions.

2.2. Different UXP programs can run concurrently except for the  Thun-
derbird forks. Presently,  if the user tries to  run  two  Thunderbird
forks at the same time, only one will pop up. This is intentional.  It
permits  different  Thunderbird forks to share a single  email profile
without data corruption.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

3. To build this bundle,  you'll need about  10.5GB  or more free disk
space in the filesystem associated with "/var/tmp".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

4. The source tarball for this package was created using a shell scri-
pt with the following name:

      make-browser-bundle.sh

The script is part of Laclin.  It may be  reviewed and used  in Laclin
but will not work in other distros.

The  script is  *not* needed to build the browser bundle.  The browser
bundle should build under numerous distros.
