Swiftfox?

<< < (2/3) > >>

worker201:
Did they take something out?

H_TeXMeX_H:
Really it looks like they just provide Firefox compiled with different optimization flags ... other than that and Swiftfox instead of Firefox, they are the same.

Example Pentium 4 CFLAGS they used:

--- Code: ---
-Wall -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wno-long-long -pedantic -O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse2 -mmmx -mfpmath=sse -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -pthread -pipe

--- End code ---


the useful part I was alluding to earlier is:

--- Code: ---
-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -msse2 -mmmx -mfpmath=sse -pthread

--- End code ---

worker201:
If that's all they're doing is building branches, that's pretty fucking pathetic.  I would think they could be doing something better for the community, if they have the bandwidth to serve firefox downloads.

Of course I'm not doing anything for the community either - but I haven't made up a name and distributed something either.  What I'm saying is, if you're going to get in the game, get in the game.  Their news blog features stories about 24-hour pharmacies and Pepto-Bismol.  Not exactly revolutionaries, these chaps.

It's just optimized builds of firefox, don't think it's supposed to be revolutionary...

And btw Refalm there are many more, way-more important benifits alot of Gentoo users get from compiling their own software.
