Netsurf on Linux PDA (ipaq h2200 + Angstrom)
by Dmitry Artamonow
Hello!
Recently I've succeeded in cross-compiling Netsurf GTK for my iPaq h2200
PDA with Angstrom linux ( http://www.angstrom-distribution.org )
using OpenEmbedded ( http://www.openembedded.org/ ).
It works ok, but there's a little problem - scrollbars doesn't fit
in tiny QVGA (240x320) screen, making netsurf nearly unusable. Here's
screenshot:

On "big PC" netsurf's window can't be resized less than about 488 pixels
width, so I guessed that it's hardcoded somewhere. After some poking at
the code i finally found the place - it was in glade file, the width of
statusbar label, measured in chars! After removing this property of label,
scrollbars finally appeared:

Here's my patch:

I'm planning to submit my building recipes to OpenEmbedded soon,
so other PDA users could enjoy Netsurf on their PDAs too.

Commits list spam
by John-Mark Bell
I've no idea how that got through -- by default, non-members' posts are
silently discarded. I've now changed it so all list members are moderated
and all moderated members' posts are also silently discarded. The only
thing that should be sending mail to the commits list is the SVN
post-commit hook (which is explicitly permitted to post), so this should be
fine.

I'm not sure we were...

Alas, the logistics of making it to the show and its timing make it
impossible for any of us to attend: the only developer who is even
slightly proximate to the show's venue will be unable to attend. The
rest of us are either in the north or east of the UK or abroad.
