Debian FAQs explain how to manage many packages that provide different versions of a program, both of which provide the same core functionality. Today I learnt how to use update-alternatives to choose Swiftfox as my default system browser.
I installed Swiftfox in /usr/local/swiftfox, so here it is: 

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/local/swiftfox/swiftfox 90
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Do it as root. You can replace the value "90" with a most appropriate value.

"Places", the new bookmark and history system originally scheduled for inclusion in Firefox 2 will be disabled in official builds.

Talking about Favorites, the Places feature would have made Firefox 2 similar in some ways to Flock (or vice-versa).

Shared goals between Flock 1.0 and Firefox 2.0/3.0:

I followed this resource .

I changed a line - like this:

ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O3 -march=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -pipe -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer"

I also added these lines:

ac_add_options --enable-static

ac_add_options --disable-shared

I read the "gtk 2.8 builds are broken due to missing xft dependencies" bugzilla page
I'm going to disable pango support, add three lines as suggested by Marco Perez and try again.


(…some hours later…)

don’t do this if you want to give feedback to Flock development.

Note: to be modified according to http://tinderbox.flock.com/builds/linux/latest/

When I start Flock, I choose between two different buttons. The first points to Flock 0.5.13, while the second points to the latest build.

I added a crontab entry in order to get every hour the latest Flock linux build. It downloads the compressed archive from http://tinderbox.flock.com/builds , then uncompresses the archive and places it into my home directory.
I’m not a programmer. It really should be written differently.

This is just one line:

51 * * * * wget -r -nH –cut-dirs=3 –directory-prefix=/home/intersezioni/ http://tinderbox.flock.com/builds/linux/latest/flock-0.7.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz; rm -rf /home/intersezioni/flock/ ; tar xzf /home/intersezioni/flock-0.7.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz -C /home/intersezioni

Have a look to crontab use. “51 * * * * ” means that it will run at 0.51 AM, 1.51 AM, etc.

The second Flock button points to:
/home/intersezioni/flock/flock

It seems working. Having Flock updated while I’m using it doesn’t seem break anything, and refreshing the about: page shows the update itself.
However, I guess I should achieve the same aim with a better crontab entry.
Any tips?

If you leave helpful comments, I shall sacrify a lamb for your sake.
