Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird

[Vano Beridze]

Are those products included in Fedora Core 1 distribution?

If no where can I get xft enabled rpms for them?

IIRC, Firebird has an xft enabled rpm on the mozilla website, 
thunderbird doesn't.

As far as I know, if you want xft in thunderbird, you have to compile it 
yourself.

?? Thunderbird's only binary release for linux from mozilla.org is GTK2, 
which means that it's XFT enabled.

MozillaFirebird today has been moved from fedora.us testing to fedora.us
stable.

The fedora.us repository has RPMs for both.

No, not as far as I know.

Mozilla distributes tarballs, just extract them in /usr/local, or 
somewhere in your home dir (either will work fine, I use ~/root/bin/).

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/0.3/

Both MozillaFirebird and MozillaThunderbird are packaged specifically
for RH9 and FC1, and distributed at fedora.us.  MozillaFirebird works
*GREAT*, but MozillaThunderbird renders all mozilla-compatible browsers
unusable while it is running.  Hopefully the next version of Thunder
bird will fix that problem.

All the Mozilla products are equally broken wrt xremote.  Start Firebird,
then try to start Mozilla - you'll get another Firebird window instead.
(and vice versa)

If you bypass the default startup scripts, you can run all 3 simultaneously.

Hi everyone,

Years ago when I installed RH 7.0 there was a great RPM loading and 
checking tool that allowed you to update from the internet or from a CD 
or from a directory.  What happened to it?  Nothing I have found in 
Fedora works that well.  Or I haven't figured out which program does.

Thanks,
Chris

Synaptic is a popular graphical user-interface for package management.

(You probably refer to gnorpm or kpackage.)

Bingo!  Gnorpm was it!  I have also used kpackage as well.  Are you 
saying these are no
longer available?

Synaptic will do the business - it's in "stable" on any of the Fedora
mirror sites.

I don't consider this broken, because I cannot see any reason why I
would want to run regular mozilla anymore. =)

Yep...

Start Thunderbird, then try and start Mozilla.....complains and then 
stops. Open Mozilla, then Thunderbird, then click on a URL in an email
and it doesn't work.

I also couldn't get Firebird to be my default browser.

Until these two become better integrated, I'm sticking to Mozilla/Mail

It should.  The fix for that has been checked into the Mozilla tree 
upstream.

Look under testing and unstable.

[Desquerre Yohann]

Hi,

to install them you sould add the unstable livna.org repository in
/etc/yum.conf

Let's see the faq to this url to do that http://fedora.artoo.net/ !!
