MX 17/18 Repository: The Waterfox Thread (64-bit only)

Version is fine, let me know where to get it from. Thanks

OK, sbuild's just cleaning up after the build. I'm not going to sign the packages, but you can do that with your own sig with debsign if you need to. I'll try and remember to build the next MX 17 version with this slightly more difficult method in the future to avoid the problems. Here's the source and packages:

Many thanks Stevo.

Downloaded the zip file, extracted the debs, installed with success, and have uploaded them to antix-17 repos. (Hopefully they won't conflict with ones in MX stretch repos for MX users)

No, it will be seen as a lower version to avoid that. mx17+1 is higher than antix17+1. The MX 19 version shouldn't have had any issue like that for antiX 19, though.

Thanks for adding Waterfox to the MX repo's..

[Stevo]

Waterfox has been updated to 56.2.14 in the main repo. This incorporates the security fixes from Firefox's 60.9 ESR release, plus I also added some MX customization in the "About" dialog.

Waterfox has been updated to the latest release, 2019.10, in our main repos for MX 17/18 and 19.

Besides the new versioning scheme, changes include:

Various website rending issues fixed. (Thanks to hawkeye116477)
Various media libraries updated, including added support for AV1. (Thanks to hawkeye116477)
Various config updates. (Thanks to Peacock365)
Launch crashes fixed on macOS < 10.11. Other crashes still remain.

PLEASE READ IF USING NETFLIX OR SIMILAR

If upgrading from previous versions of Waterfox, you will be asked to re-enable DRM. After re-enabling, please allow time for the new plugins to update. You may need to restart Waterfox after the new plugins have been installed to get DRM to work. You can verify your plugins by entering about:plugins in the address bar.

OK, apparently the last upload was not so good, and Waterfox has been forked into waterfox-classic-kpe and waterfox-current-kpe packages. So far, I've only been able to rebuild the classic packages for MX 17/18/19, and those are now in the main repo. MX package installer is also being updated to install the new packages. When those are installed, it will automatically remove the deprecated "waterfox", and we plan to remove those old packages from the repo also.

This Reddit post also has a direct bearing on what themes can be installed on Waterfox Classic in Linux, and how to make Waterfox appear more compatible to themes: https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/comme ... n/f5htjhn/

Now updated to the current 2019.12 "waterfox-classic-kpe" branch package in the main repo.
