Starting to work on the actual browser application now...

jacadcaps wrote: Void has had PPC patches for quite a while now and I am both using their work and have contributed to their patches myself. It does look like the CLoop fix finally got accepted into WebKit though, which is nice.
jacadcaps wrote: Made a lot of progress rebasing to WebKitGTK 2.32.1 (latest stable, from May 10th). It looks like between Daniel Kolesa of Void Linux and me we were able to fix the JavaScript BE regressions that have made into the source tree in the meanwhile.

There were several endianness regressions (bugs) in JavaScriptCore that I've tracked down and fixed together with Daniel Kolesa (Void Linux). Many, many interfaces in WebCore have changed and those changes had to be reflected in my code (even if they were simple type/enum changes 70% of the time). Still, a working rebase proves that there's future for Wayfarer and 1.x wasn't just a one-off.
Thanks for the tip! I have followed the Wayfarer thread but did not pay attention to that detail...
Ironically, that was the first one I put in my new partition dev/sda8, but apparently I didn't unarchive it. I cleaned out sda8, copied the 20210820 archive in again, unarchived it, and tried to run it, but it failed with a note that nothing could be found to boot.

I'm still doing something wrong, but adding xorg.conf to /etc/X11 does make a difference.
