Imagine that! Something else that works on my X5000!
I'm using it in fienix right now but will install in void as well.

Great!
@All
There is a package
extras.zip with add-ons and themes.
You can install for example
greasemonkey.xpi for using YouTube in HD with
ViewTube.
You can also install
uBlock0rigin.xpi for faster surfing by blocking adverts and web tracking.

Wicknix has released BrassMonkey
33.4.0. Unfortunately the mail component is broken due to new commits.
Compile time on an X5000/40:
133:17.89
./mach package
Code: Select all
/home/amigaone/Downloads/brass-monkey-33.4.0/obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/suite/installer/package-manifest:57: Missing file(s): bin/icudt63l.dat
Solution:
Code: Select all
cp /home/amigaone/brassmonkey/icudt63l.dat obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/
After starting the mail component:
Code: Select all
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://messenger/content/msgAccountCentral.xul
Line Number 156, Column 11: <label class="acctCentralText"
----------^
There was a
commit 10 months ago. I have tried the commit before and it works again.
vim platform/mailnews/base/content/msgAccountCentral.xul
Link:
msgAccountCentral.xul
./mach build again.
./mach run
./mach package
The
icudt63b.dat is missing in the package. Please extract the package in
obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist and copy the
icudt63b.dat to the brassmonkey directory.
Download:
brassmonkey-33.4.0.linux-powerpc-gtk2-without_altivec.tar.xz
Another issue after testing:
Menu Edit - Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings...
Output:
Code: Select all
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://messenger/content/AccountManager.xul
Line Number 38, Column 7: <button id="accountActionsButton" type="menu"
------^

I replaced some files with the ones from November 2023 (UXP-RB_20231128) and added the calendar additionally.
Code: Select all
[amigaone@void-ppc base]$ cp -R ../../../../uxp/mailnews/base/content .
[amigaone@void-ppc prefs]$ cp -R ../../../../../uxp/mailnews/base/prefs/content .
[amigaone@void-ppc mailnews]$ cp ../../../uxp/mailnews/jar.mn .
(You have to add Lightning from the extension directory - File - Open File...)
New download:
brassmonkey-33.4.0.linux-powerpc-gtk2-without_altivec.tar.xz
Screenshot of BrassMonkey 33.4.0 with Netscape 7 logo:
For Fienix:
You need libffi7 and libjpeg8 for BrassMonkey on Fienix.
You can install them with the following commands:
Code: Select all
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ sudo apt-get install libffi7
fienix@fienix:~/Downloads/sealion$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg8
