Description:
Hello, I just wanted to request that Pale Moon browser be added to the repository. Here's a link to the website http://www.palemoon.org/, sourceforge page http://sourceforge.net/projects/pm4linux/ and redistribution license http://www.palemoon.org/redist.shtml. Thanks, fidelis |
This task depends upon
Ok, why? Packages are added to the repository because someone cares about them, not simply because $SHINY_NEW_THING exists and has gained some amount of popularity. Nobody wins if this is maintained in [extra] or [community] by a dev/TU who doesn't actually use the package.
arora
epiphany
firefox
chromium
w3m
dillo
dwb
elinks
midori
nersurf
opera
rekonq
surf
Do we really need another browser?
Karol Błażewicz (karol): I wasn't aware it was in the AUR. Thanks for letting me know. However, it being in the official repository would give Pale Moon more exposure and let more people know there is a direct alternative to Firefox.
