Yes, I recall what they were for
.
The patches on
http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...atch-splitted/ are for the following:
dillo-0.8.6-file.patch - Make opening local files work (code: loads the file in its entirety to memory and feeds that to the parser; not optimal but was the easiest route)
dillo-0.8.6-iliad-support.patch - Page scroll with left mouse button instead of middle button; this is: when you drag the page with the stylus, it scrolls (code: swap the references to left mouse button with the ones for middle mouse button in some places; add the list of changes in the about page).
dillo-0.8.6-next-v3.patch - If you press the next button (right arrow in the toolbar) and there is no next page in the page cache history, it will try to guess the next page and load it; did it to act as a rough comic book viewer (code: look for the last number in the URL, increment it and try to load that page)
dillo-0.8.6-utf8-support-v2.patch - Some support for utf-8 pages, so that it can show properly the Spanish Wikipedia; only supports the latin1 part of utf-8, and only transforms the pages that announce themselves as utf-8 (code: if the page advertises itself as utf-8, convert the latin1 utf-8 codes to latin1 codes; latin1 is iso-8859-1 codepage, the one supported in dillo 0.8.6).
And that's all. The patches are simple but not trivial. They just make dillo more usable on the iliad (at least for me
.
So, apply them to your build (they don't cause unstabilities AFAIK
). Also, you should modify the about page in dillo-0.8.6-iliad-support.patch to note your changes/additions
.
P.S.: About the dillo2 port: the fixed font is installed (the X server won't start without it), so that error is strange.
P.S.2: Ups! Those posts are material for the devel's corner...
