Chimera 2.0 (alpha 2) adds full Wilbur (html 3.2) support, and in this port the optional dependancies on jpeg and png support is enabled and works (at least for me). This *is* Alpha software, but about on a par with many Betas. It dies occasionally, and I've not gotten the bookmarks to work, but it's an Athena based http:+file:+ftp: scheme supporting GUI browser with a fairly low memory requirement. MOST of the code is GNU Public License or GNU Library license, and all of it liberally licensed (e.g. BSD license). In use, it's very much like an Athena Widgets based Mosaic. (Mosaic is Motif based and makes TERRIBLY with Lestif at least for me). Of course on today's web, you find many sites that tell you to go away and install MSIE (vaporware) so you can see their ``frames''. As distributed, it doesn't handle mailto: URLs, Java, JavaScript, ActiveX or even Safe-Tcl - but it's under continuing development, and just a few months after wilbur was codified, it's out and compliant. Not bad for what seems to be essentially a one person project at unlv.edu It seems to be QUITE standards compliant. Pages with bad HTML around the web come up blank on occasion - as is to be expected for unterminated quotes, tags and tables. External files from Chimera v1 are no longer used. It's Imake based, and the patches are VERY minor at this point. As submitted, the port unpacks to `chimera2/'. Since it's alpha software, it's entirely possible that a person would want to have both 1.65 and 2.0a2 on the same machine. Install WILL however, overwrite an installed /usr/X11R6/bin/chimera without warning. Fix: Some quick guesses on how to fix what's wrong in the browser, include: 1. Find out why the Bookmarks button is dead. It seems to be identical to that in version 1.65 already in the ports collection which works quite well. Any patches sould also be sent to the author. 1.a. Once the bookmarks are working, I'd set some ``defaults'' to include standard path to the FreeBSD Handbook :) 2. Harden some threads or get them notified when the user gets impatient and goes on to another web page. That (like Netscape) seems to be when it's most fragile. 3. Add at least the capacity to install an EXTERNAL handler (say Pine or xterm -e /bin/Mail or something) for mailto:'s. It seems to handle forms rather well, and does quite tolerably on tables. External handlers for gopher: and wais: would be a good idea too, and the same functionality could spawn an X-Term based telnet for telnet: and somewhat recognized rlogin: scheme URLs too. 4. Add the additional Cougar glyphs. is getting VERY common, and I'm not sure (last time using both v1.65 and v2.0a2 in parallel) that this new version translates it into a non-breaking space. 5. A little more difficult would be to use some kind of scrolling canvas as the backing page, with placed scrollbars for internal and other frames. 6. And even more difficult, likely, support background images. This version ignores all colors, and quite properly ignores tags it does not understand. 7. And finally - add stylesheet and at least safe-tcl... probably will off in the next version, if Microsoft doesn't BUY unlv.edu How-To-Repeat: fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/chimera-2.0a2.port.tgz tar -xvzf chimera-2.0a2.port.tgz cd chimera2/ make install
State Changed From-To: open->feedback Chimera 2 is no longer available from the MASTER_SITE in the port. Perhaps you'd like to port Chimera 1.70, or follow up with a new MASTER_SITES?

While correcting this, I've moved it to the latest release, which is v2.0a11 (original port submission was v2.0a2), and portlint'ed it. Since this is still in alpha, and v1.65 has been upgraded to v1.70, someone else would like to do that one, but I really don't see the reason, unless someone needs a pre- Wilbur spec HTML browser, deliberately. From what I can see, this alpha version is at least as stable as v1.65. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Patch to port tarball follows... FreeBSD patches above "patch-ac" deleted.
