New Linux Diagnostic ToolFriday February 1st, 2002Geodesic is currently showcasing a demo of their Great Circle tool for Linux, using Mozilla as the demo application. The tool allows you to debug various problems in applications on Linux, and looks to be an excellent addition to the arsonal of tools that developers can use to work on Mozilla. You can view the demo on Geodesic's site, or get more info on it. i don't understand Can any of the mozilla developers give any feedback as to whether this demo will be useful to them and/or the whole mozilla project. Are the results surprising or would most of these bugs be known about? Can any of the mozilla developers give any feedback as to whether this demo will be useful to them and/or the whole mozilla project. Are the results surprising or would most of these bugs be known about? Newsforge in their article hyperlinks to mozillaquest again when talking about mozilla being "buggy". I think the reason people can't stop hyperlinking to mozquest is because there is no other suitable news-ish site "reviewing" mozilla. Thus, when they need to point to a news-ish site, they're forced to mozquest... Pardon my French, but "huh"?! Since when is mozillaquest a "news-ish" site and since when has mozillaquest done a serious "review" of mozilla? If a reader wants a "news-ish" site then check out Web Review http://www.webreview.com/ or Browser Watch http://browserwatch.internet.com/ or News.Com or ZDnet.Com. Like the Browser Watch Review: Netscape 6.1 http://browserwatch.internet.com/news/stories2001/news-20010823-1.html or the Browser Watch release notices for Netscape 6.2.1 http://browserwatch.internet.com/news/stories2001/news-20011210-1.html and Mozilla 0.9.7 http://browserwatch.internet.com/news/stories2002/news-20020102-1.html . So, do you read last years or last months magazine when you want news? Noppe, you trawl the sites - ALL of them - that might have a snippet of news. I never go to MozillaQuest personally as I do not value the authors comments. But, I remember a time when news on Mozilla wasn't hard to come by. Nowadays its a rarety. A damn shame but there you go. I would go to last month's or last year's (or even last decade's) Scientific American or Nature before going to yesterday's Weekly World News. Nope, I don't trawl the sites, I go to the news source (mozilla.org or netscape.com) and then I go to a news site that specializing in the topic (browser or internet news site) or I may go to a search engine (google.com or yahoo.com). In none of these cases does mozillaquest show up as a first, second, or even third choice for news (even in a search engine). I have no problem finding Mozilla news. Although it must be much easier to use. When you use gccchecker you need to *port* a project to it. Besides, someone should create a nice gtk interface. (I've previously posted this on MozillaNews =) ). I can't run the demo that shows it debugging mozilla. It tells me to use Nescape or IE, but I am using Mozilla. Is this ironic or what? Also can't download the trial program. Tells me that my domain is illegal. Pity, because I would be interested in their product. test test |
