[Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future

New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

nanZor:

Your demand for an update-netsurf is legitimate as much as asny other demand of the porteus community users. Let´s see what the developpers have to say about it. There is already palemoon.

Or maybe you could build the update-netsurf yourself based on update-firefox and submit it for the next porteus version. ;)

Maybe CERN's browser would be a better choice.

Heh, well just tested the latest XFCE4 5.0 RC1 and see that the desktop link to the Porteus faq leads to calling up Lynx in U/Xterm, instead of calling up the browser chooser!

I think this is great. However, I see that as a proof-of-concept using lynx and uxterm. Us old timers are going to gravitate naturally to /usr/doc and poke around anyway with our own tools, but the new user to linux expects *some* sort of browsing if you are going to present html like that.

I'm not complaining! Heck, I might even call up Steve Kirkendall's vi clone, ELVIS which has a built in html browser if you run the latest 2.2x or so. Good times, but that's from "your Dad's distro." :)

I'm half-tempted to re-code the Porteus faq into something classic like the *bsd docs for a graphical browser. Not that I'm any good, but I'd have to dust off my html skills....
That's a UNIX book - cool. -Garth

@nanZor
The most recent version of 64Bit netsurf can be gotten with the mknetsurf command.
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm includes the mknetsurf command.

spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm (2 M)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6p74gb4b8 ... arch-2.xzm

Hi neko,
I downloaded spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm from the above link.
But the command mknetsurf does not exist.
The mknetsurf command is not included!
Note:
When using appears: Version 19.06.21-1 and not 19.06.26
could that be the error?

@Kulle
Thank you for your interest to the tool.
Please operation as followed.

Code: Select all

% ls
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
% su
# activate spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# which mknetsurf
/usr/local/sbin/mknetsurf
# mknetsurf
# ls
netsurf-3.8.4704-x86_64-1.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# deactivate spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# activate netsurf-3.8.4704-x86_64-1.xzm
3.8.4704 is the most recent version of netsurf at just now.

Thanks.

@Kulle
Excuse me !
"mknetsurf" command doesn't run correctly.
Because there is not library "libbfd-2.26.20160125.so".
Please activate following module.


binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm (7 M)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dr0jd67gb ... 6_64-3.xzm
md5sum: e36392cdbc40f8b9658914846e50dbf9 binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm


mknetsurf convert DEB module with "ar" command.
"ar" command is included Porteus
but Porteus doesn't include "libbfd-2.26.20160125.so" that is used by "ar" command.


Thanks.

Hi neko,
It did not work:

@bour59
"mknetsurf" builds minimum netsurf with netsurf-common and netsurf-gtk.
If you need full set, please modify shell script as follows.

Line 112 of /usr/local/share/mknetsurf/bin/mknetsurf
OLD
for i in `grep "$VERSION" /tmp/mknetsurf$$/index.html|cut -d'"' -f8|egrep -e "netsurf-common_$V|netsurf-gtk_$V"`
NEW
for i in `grep "$VERSION" /tmp/mknetsurf$$/index.html|cut -d'"' -f8`

Note:
The packages of this site is updated as soon as source code is update.
"https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/debian/buster/amd64/"


Thanks.

--------------------------------
@Kulle
The most recent netsurf runs in Porteus v5.0rc1 x86_64.
It doesn't run in Porteus v4.0 x86_64.
Because there is not libssl.so.1.1 in Porteus v4.0 x86_64.

[libssl.so]
=== Porteus v4.0 x86_64 ===

Code: Select all

% lsxzm ISO@/porteus/base/001-core.xzm | grep libssl
/lib64/libssl.so.1
/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libssl.so
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libssl3.so
=== Porteus v5.0rc1 x86_64 ===

Code: Select all

% lsxzm ISO@/porteus/base/001-core.xzm | grep libssl
/lib64/libssl.so.1.1
/usr/lib64/libssl.so
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1

@bour59
I built netsurf-fb package whose dependencies were constructed with archLinux packages.
And I executed it on Porteus 5.0rc1 from terminal.
I got the same message on the terminal.
"netsurf-fb: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by netsurf-fb)"

Me too, I don't know what the message is.

netsurf-FB.xzm (3.4 M)

@bour59
"netsurf-fb" will be updated frequently.
"netsurf-fb" and dependency part of netsurf-FB.xzm can be separated.

[How to update netsurf-fb of netsurf-FB.xzm]
1. preparation
(1) spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72558)
(2) binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72564)
(3) netsurf-FB.xzm
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72585)
(4) modify spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm@/usr/local/share/mknetsurf/bin/mknetsurf
refer to [Solved] Include mini-browser Netsurf in the future (Post by neko #72571)

2. get recent "netsurf-fb"

Code: Select all

% ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
% su
# activate binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
# activate spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
# leafpad /usr/local/share/mknetsurf/bin/mknetsurf
# mknetsurf
# ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
Note: At my test, netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm was netsurf-3.8.4711-x86_64-1.xzm.

3. separate xzm module to packages.

Code: Select all

# dXZM netsurf-FB.xzm
# sep2pkg netsurf-FB
# dXZM netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
# sep2pkg netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1
# ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
pkgs.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1
pkgs.netsurf-FB
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm
4. replace pkg.netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1 with pkgs.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1

Code: Select all

# ls -1 pkgs.netsurf-FB
font
lib4netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1
pkg.netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1
slklib64
xcb-util-0.4.0-x86_64-3
# rm -fr pkgs.netsurf-FB/pkg.netsurf-3.8.4710-x86_64-1
# mv pkgs.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1 pkgs.netsurf-FB/pkg.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1
Note 1: pkgs... ---> pkg...
Note 2: next remove directory will be pkgs.netsurf-FB/pkg.netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.

5. build new netsurf-FB.xzm

Code: Select all

# mv netsurf-FB.xzm old.netsurf-FB.xzm
# pkgs2xzm pkgs.netsurf-FB
# rm -fr pkgs.netsurf-FB netsurf-3.8.NNNN-x86_64-1.xzm
# ls -1
binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm
netsurf-FB.xzm
old.netsurf-FB.xzm
spm-19.06.26-noarch-2.xzm

Thanks.
