With all these post-build modders and personal builders I wonder how long offering support for issues can even be reasonable. Dozens of people on this forum are automatically disqualified from getting support questions answered. Half of them lie about it till I push them to admit it. It is a filthy situation and I am sick of it.
When you build your self with "personal patches" or doing some sort of omnija fuckery and shoving filth into the program directory post-build you are not using Pale Moon, indeed, it is something else, a bastardization of the product we all work hard on and then you or someone like you will come here and act like you are entitled to everything.
There is almost no reason to ever build the source code unless you are a developer or a packager. Otherwise, build AS RELEASED without changes else stay silent because you choose to give up product support and user status and aren't entitled to anything. The only exception should be if you intend on creating something new but that is hardly ever the case but if it was even then it isn't Pale Moon and pretending it is is a sure fire way to piss off everyone.
Geez !!!!
Please, cool down !
It was not an attack or criticism on my part, and mind you, the whole point of Open Source software is to be able to modify it yourself if you so wish.
YES, I do modify Pale Moon to fit *my* needs, like I do for (to date) 172 pieces of software (that's the current number of SRPMS I customized with personal patches for the Linux distro I am currently using), not counting the Open Source projects I personally manage and publish under various nicknames, one of which is entering its 12th year of weekly (!) releases (and that's a big project as well: the binary package is 300Mb big).
So, I deny you the right to qualify my work of "bastardization" or "omnija fuckery", or to judge about the opportunity for me to compile PM (or any other software) myself.
Beside, I do not ask support. I was just posing a question about where the sources could be found for this particular release, and you will note that I waited 24 hours after the release was announced before asking, because, yes, I do know what it is to be over-swamped with work and having to deal with a gazillion things at once.
But as I already wrote: case closed. Thank you !
