Entry text: [quote="Tony Mechelynck"]Alpha 1 code freeze: wow! Sounds like Sm 2.1 is starting to become serious stuff. :-) A couple of days ago I tried my first Mozilla compile ever, with SeaMonkey (off comm-central since 1.9.1 repositories are not publicly accessible), and it went remarkably well for a first try (thanks to <a href="http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2008-06-05/getting-mozilla-central-with-limited-bandwidth/">Ben Smedberg</a>, <a href="http://www.rumblingedge.com/mozilla-mercurial-source-bundles/">Gary Kwong</a>, and the authors of <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_Documentation">the MDC Build Documentation</a>, plus of course the whole SeaMonkey team). I've been playing a little with the browser component on a fresh profile, with no problems so far. However I don't know if I'll do another own-compile because the make took about 12 hours on my machine (a full configure and build from scratch, and not on a dedicated machine, so I preferred not to parallelize the make). Of course I'll want to know how well the mailer works before I make the big jump to using Sm2.1 (probably the Mozilla-buit executable) with my day-to-day profile (maybe define my POP servers with "leave mail on server", possibly also all or part of the feeds, maybe the NNTP news or maybe not, and temporarily neglect the 8-emails-a-week Movemail account). Any statistics on how many people are already using Sm2.1 for mail & news (and POP mail in particular, if it can be told apart from IMAP)?[/quote]
