Official M12 to Appear This Morning, Sparc Solaris Version Already AvailableTuesday December 21st, 1999The official M12 release is set to occur sometime this morning (we'll let you know when it appears), but in the meantime the first builds have appeared based on what should be the final M12 code. Roland Mainz writes, "The _first_ binary package is available: M12 Solaris 2.7 SPARC build is available including MathML, OJI (JAVA) and IRC (chat) - from here." A post to the mz talkback forums advises, "Please download it ASAP because our Sun cluster is shut down from 22.12.1999 18:00h MET until 2.1.2000 15:00h MET..." Also, Chris Blizzard of Red Hat writes in to say that there are also M12 RPMs available for Red Hat for Intel, Sparc, and Alpha architectures. You can download them here.

Any idea what was lacking in this build? I'll bet it's pretty darn close to what we'll see this morning in the official M12 release, if not the same thing. Asa (posted with a 12/20 M13 nightly) Anonymous ftp to <ftp://ftp.mozilla.org> gives me an ftp error: login incorrect. When will this be back up? I haven't had any problems connecting. Maybe it was down for a minute while something was being uploaded. I just tried it and got in so you might want to try again. Asa (another moz powered post) I recieved same message. Than, when I was on the ftp is shows that 256 user of 256 are on the server... slashdot effect I'm sure. they posted notice of impending M12 release builds and lots of people are trying to get what isn't yet there. the /. comments are pretty good this time. while i generally don't give a s@#t what most posters have to say there, it's a good sign I guess when they respond so positively. Asa (another moz powered post) #6 Sorry for the pause...by gisburn <Roland.Mainz@informatik.med.uni-giessen.de> Tuesday December 21st, 1999 10:59 AM Small sorry for interupting two downloads, I've restarted the WWW server after a change on the download servlet - I've increased the max. number of downloads from 4 up to 8 concurrent connections... MozillaZine's fetchbuilds page only lists up to M10. Could somebody fix this please?? andy Looks like the only thing available under the m12 directory right now is source code. Well, I'm eager, so I think I'll go ahead and grab it. Let's see how well this baby compiles... :) #9 97 completed downloads in 6 hours...by gisburn <Roland.Mainz@informatik.med.uni-giessen.de> Tuesday December 21st, 1999 3:06 PM Small success story: The Solaris 2.7 SPARC-build was downloaded (e.g. only completed downloads counted) 97 times... Fetch your build for FreeBSD-CURRENT at <ftp://phoenix.student.utw…/pub/mozilla/releases/m12> - these are for -CURRENT only and will not work with older releases. For what it's worth, I tried out the binary for Solaris 7 as usual, and also compiled from source for the first time. I found that the prebuilt binary was as flaky as always, but the one I compiled myself is running fairly well, aside from the slow refresh rate when typing this text. #12 Re: Source vs Binariesby gisburn <Roland.Mainz@informatik.med.uni-giessen.de> Tuesday December 21st, 1999 4:10 PM Uhm, can you explain "flaky" more preceise ? Maybe the problem lies in the supplied libstdc/gdk/gtk+, which are build for Solaris 2.7/MU2... All I see in ...releases/m12/ is a /src directory. Where are the builds? I thought it was supposed to 'appear this morning'? |
