Last time I tried gpe-minibrowser was on OZ 3.5.4.1 a1 under gpe 2.7. I love its small memory footprint and the fact it loads almost instantly compared to the near minute long loading time of firefox.

Sad thing is that it was near useless as I couldn't access Yahoo! mail with it, which alongside google and OESF , is one of my primary uses for a browser. I didn't try gmail or hotmail but I should doubt they would've worked then either.

So, has any work been done on gpe-minibrowser recently? When it works well enough to use online mail clients then I would want to see it packaged for Debian so I could run exactly the same apps on my Z as on my PC without any messy compiling jobs. Is there any reason why gtk-webcore and gpe-minibrowser aren't in Debian already?

No progress as of RC4... I still had to install Firefox to access those sites. Someone should look into compiling Opera (if it hasn't been done and I missed it), I still think that works the best out of them all.

EDIT: I'll correct myself as I found out Opera isn't opensource, which is a shame because as I mentioned it works nice under Cacko.

If there's a specific problem you'd best add a bug to the GPE bugtracker - http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/

I've just had a look on the hh.org bugzilla and there doesn't seem to be gpe-minibrowser product or component entry

Hmm, it may be OE only then. In which case try adding a bug for it to the oe bugtracker: http://bugs.openembedded.org

Sorry for the mis-direction,
