Re: [request] netfront
this package requires eula agreement and a registration online before downloading.... therefore I cannot package it...
i suggest signing up and installing manually

Re: [request] netfront
I tried both versions of this browser some time ago. They are distributed only as binary packages.
GTK1 version needs old library that I don't have. I couldn't really try it.
The new GTK2 version (despite many positive osnews comments) is not as useful as dillo.
This browser is designed for small mobile devices IIRC. I could fix some problems that I had with it (like default huge fonts) but later I noticed that it doesn't work with my native language pages at all. And this version is a lot slower than dillo (and there is Polish version of dillo so another "-" for netfront).
Perhaps the older version is much better (as is also suggested on osnews) but it seems to me that I won't trash my dillo in the near future ;-)
The screenshots of gtk1 version html rendering are quite impressive though and if someone get's this version to work with arch it would be nice.
