Hi folks,

is it possible to build seamonkey without the whole updating
(and check-for-update) stuff ?


thx

You grow them in a tank and you should add water if they are not working.

Go to edit, preferences.  Then expand advanced then select software
installation.  In the right side, uncheck check for updates.  I think
that will do what you want.

Seamonkey has some update features by itself (ie. checking for
available update, downloading new binary package, etc).
I want to build seamonkey entirely without that to save
resources and reduce possible points of errors.

emerge sync && emerge -u seamonkey

That's the only way I can think of ....

Seamonkey (and Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox) seem to have written so that 
the update ability is hard coded into them and is not an option.

At least that's what the ebuild and USE flags tell me, and I'm way to 
lazy to investigate the Mozilla build system to get a definite answer. 
Besides, it's probably a horrific build system. And also besides, the 
update code portion probably isn't that big.

What Enrico needs to do is download SeaMonkey and build it like normal, 
then deactivate the auto-update stuff in Preferences

I can't speak for Seamonkey, but for Firefox, at least the 3.0a version,
there is an option to disable  automatic checking for updates.  Go into
preferences, then advanced, then update.
