Do your boys:
	- Hang low

Do they:
	- Wobble to and fro

Can you:
	- Tie them in a knot
	- Tie them in a bow
	- Throw them over your shoulder

(wtf?)

A new firefox ebuild is in CVS (mozilla-firefox-1.0.2-r1 ebuild) and places includes and libs, pkgconfig files, firefox-config and all that cool stuff on the filesystem for various browsers to build against.

Now to wait while Obz throws epiphany at it. Whee!

latexer, on point #2 about a vocal minority making us look bad, I don’t think that’s a long-term concern – I’ve seen groups of people once driven to extreme annoyance at Gentoo users completely converted by the distribution’s technical strengths within months. I think Gentoo is a good enough platform to win the appreciation of even its most staunch detractors, if they’re open to checking it out.

Another set of Mozilla updates out of the way. It’s a pretty smooth affair at this point, now that we’re using Aron’s mozconfig.eclass. We hit a few bumps with mozilla-launcher, but that’s sorted. Mostly.

If anyone’s having trouble committing changes to the Mozilla ebuilds after the mozilla-launcher move from net-www to www-client: The solution I found was simply removing my CVS tree and checking it out again. I’m sure there’s a far more elegant way to fix it, but oh well. 😛

Shortly I’d like to start setting up our Firefox in such a way that epiphany/galeon and others can build against it as they currently do with Mozilla. Considering Mozilla Suite is going into maintenance mode it’ll be better to build against the newer stuff anyway.
