Internet / Re: Firefox - 45.9.0 for OS/2 GA1.1...anyone...anyone???
« on: April 23, 2018, 09:29:35 pm »
The BWW version and Dave's one work the same here. Both play youtube, both do not play videos on ad.nl. One thing I did notice is that Dave's compile sometimes 'hesitates' when scrolling, it scrolls slowly at first, then speeds up.

Why are you bringing up QtWebKit?  BitWise is not on this forum; and elsewhere they've said they have not yet selected the browser framework.
Sorry I just read from the referred chat protocol the following:
[11:21:39] <_diver> Yes as Qt5 has webkit.  And when this works a browser is a easy port

Quote
We need Qt first, and the selection of the browser framework should be done as late as possible.
So what's the problem, Qt sources are open for more than 10 years.


Obviously a simple error in his post. In previous threads it has already been made clear that Qtwebengine will be ported. We have webkit already and it is indeed outdated.

...I seem to recall a recent discussion about this... found it. Have a read https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,1519.0.html...

Thanks Pete...yup, it was a great move to fix the SMP hang, but with the performance being so bad I found that it just did not work for me. Strangely the ticket I logged has simply gone un-answered (https://mantis.arcanoae.com/view.php?id=1505).

Seems it was an oversight. Your ticket has been answered now...

There is someone on this forum who doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word nepotism.....

   Rpmdb checksum is invalid: dCDPT (pkg checksums)


Is that anything to be concerned about? - ANPM seems to show all updates were successful...


That is a known defect, can be ignored.

Article Discussions / Re: Sponsorship needed for new OS/2 web browser
« on: November 18, 2017, 09:55:37 pm »
Some considerations about this sponsorship drive:

It is indeed not clear which browser will be ported and not even when. I am not happy about that myself. I still gave my consent as a VOICE board member, for a number of reasons.
It has become increasingly clear that porting Firefox is too resource intensive, for reasons already stated in this thread, o.a. the rapid major code changes. Choosing an alternative takes time. Porting the alternative takes more time. Getting the necessary funds together also takes time. By raising money now we save time later.
Software development does not come for free, at least not when there are few developers and therefore full time development by the sparse developers is needed.
Although there is no alternative browser chosen yet, the developers have been chosen, namely BWW, because they have proven to deliver.

Others may think differently. Everyone is free to choose if they will contribute or not.

As for the comments in this thread about buggy software, lack of tools etc., when I take into account the number of bugreports in the firefox bug tracker by the main complainants I get the strong impression that complaining or even trolling is more important to some than actually helping getting bugs fixed.

Web applications / Re: Oddities with Youtube.

Sure. At least one of the results of the theory of this concept is that several people in our niche market still seem to be using SM 2.35 or FF 38, and have stopped trying to use Mozilla's latest available product for their OS. Scores update: animated dancing bears +1, users -1.
<silence>

I have an old machine that not even Mosaic will install on. I wholly agree with you that all new software should be fully backwards compatible with older hardware. Any suggestions for a browser that will still run on this thing?

Mail-News / Re: PMMail 3.22 and SMTP authentication...can it do that?
« on: October 13, 2017, 11:37:04 pm »
Remember, without VOICE there would likely not have been a fairly current Firefox, Java, QT4 etc.

I would like to add that without the efforts and sponsoring of the community there would exist nothing of OS/2 at all,  even no Voice.
Yes, indeed. In the end it the community is what keeps OS/2 alive.

Mail-News / Re: PMMail: 2.00.xx to 3.22 migration...what to do?
« on: October 13, 2017, 09:09:04 pm »
Error 16 - Label not found

Explanation:

A SIGNAL instruction has been executed or an event for which a trap was set with SIGNAL ON has occurred, and the language processor could not find the label specified. You might have mistyped the label or forgotten to include it.

The associated subcodes are:

001

    Label "label_name" not found

Doesn't mean much to me.  The fact that the file is 0 bytes might be because you don't have any groups defined? Wouldn't effect a copy operation anyway. Something triggers an error condition in the rexx script. A bug report is a good idea, and drop it in the mailinglist too.

PMMail is an incentive to sponsor VOICE

</silence>No matter which stories, excuses and arguments people and VOICE are trying to use to justify a weird construction, this type of tying is illegal according to their Dutch competition laws (Mededingingswet). Buy VOICE's product once, and VOICE has the freedom to use its turnover to sponsor itself. It would be as simple as that, without offending potential users by making them support any irrelevant organization with illegal sales constructions.

And, of course, it's bogus that a Dutch foundation has no members (leden). If you are a member of a community which was forced to support VOICE, then - in Dutch - you are a member of VOICE. You'll never be invited for a member's meeting, but e.g. VOICE can say that you are a member of VOICE. Strictly: a member of a group. If you have a commercial AN Software Subscription, then in Dutch you're a member of AN.

In a nutshell: just sell the product as a stand-alone product, perhaps allow others to become a reseller too, and use the proceeds to sponsor the owner of the product. That's legal, normal, not as weird as having to support VOICE directly, and quite easy...<silence>

Falsely accusing a legal entity of illegal activities constitutes slander. Your comments here are crossing the line of common decency.

I really don't understand the issue. If one wants to obtain PMMail, sponsor 50 dollars to VOICE. Regard it as buying, and the 50 as the price. Simple as that. You do not become a member, because a Dutch 'stichting' does not have members, you don't have any obligations. Your money will be well spent, it will all flow back into software development, Warpstock and promotional activities (the latter usually don't cost any money). As Roderick and I said, there is -no- overhead, all received funds go the goals set in the VOICE statutes. Not 50%, not 70%, not 99%, the full 100%. You may not agree with which software VOICE sponsors, but hey, if you buy a program from a software vendor your money will only benefit this vendor, not the community as a whole. PMMail is an incentive to sponsor VOICE, by sponsoring VOICE one sponsors the viability of the platform. Remember, without VOICE there would likely not have been a fairly current Firefox, Java, QT4 etc.
