Setting version to cauldron, because package requests will usually be done for cauldron first and are then expected to be available in the first stable release that follows. I couldn't find this package in Mdv Source RPM:

(none) No, it seems this package does not exist in Mandriva. You can find a spec file here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=bluegriffon.spec&package=bluegriffon&project=mozilla&rev=09cb4b9da3cd5efe4af73a2d1fd72507 CC:

mageiasv Presently I use KompoZer a more then acceptable WYSIWYG web page editor. But, development of that app stopped in late 2011. I have used the bluegriffon rpm package from Fedora on Mageia and that worked just fine. It's been awhile since I tested it so I'll put a little time aside and try it again. Bluegriffon is a much more complex, and capable, WYSIWYG editor then KompoZer but with a few hours of tinkering you can accomlish the same tasks that you do in KompoZer. Bluegriffon has an active support group at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bluegriffon Where as KompoZer refers you back to: http://wysifauthoring.informe.com/forum/ If I am not mistaken Bluegriffon is a fork of KompoZer. Unfortunately the OpenMandriva package of it is no good. I think it was imported from MIB. It contains a source file of unknown origin of a very old Firefox tarball (full of security vulnerabilities) and violates several packaging policies. IIRC, this was not the case in the OpenSuSE package. the source code is available at blue griffons page so if anyone could build it from source it would be great. manny like to use WYSIWYG editors and we don't what i know have anyone in our repos.

(none) As a workaround - it is possible to use a SUSE package 1.7.2-11.1 from here: http://www.rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/bluegriffon.html?hl=com&cs=/bin/sh:RE:0:0:0:0:1640 Also you need a workaround for the oxygen-gtk incompatibility explained in the Bug 12734. But of course - it would be great to have a native Mageia package! CC:

Excuse me it's libpng16.so.16 You shouldn't use the openmandriva package. can we hope to soon have the rpm on mageia Any news about it? The developement of NVU and Kompozer is dead since years. CC:

linux (In reply to psyca from comment #15) > Any news about it? The developement of NVU and Kompozer is dead since years. No, but we can assign package requests to all packagers collectively since some weeks, so doing so now :-) Assignee:

pkg-bugs It would be nice to eliminate Kompozer from M6 and replace it with bluegriffon. This report interests me so I downloaded the opensuse bluegriffon-1.7.2-6.13.src.rpm and tried to build it on Mga5. I sorted out most of the BUILDREQUIRES and REQUIRES but some have me stumped. So I download the source directly and that built successfully. But before I learn how to turn the compiled source into a rpm I am concerned about the lifespan on bluegriffon. There is a discussion (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bluegriffon/CYnMvvqo8aE) where the developer responds to a question. 1. yes, BlueGriffon is still actively maintained. 2. there are areas for concerns for its future but these are unfortunately not in my hands at all. Mozilla is on a path to deprecate and get rid of XUL, its XML UI language BlueGriffon is based on. Their plan is certainly to move to html-based UI with WebComponents. Unfortunately, this will have a tremendous, potentially lethal, impact on most XULRunner-based applications including their own Thunderbird and of course BlueGriffon. 3. understanding what is the current focus of Mozilla has always been extremely complicated for embedders like us because Mozilla does not, I repeat does NOT, give us any extra information or roadmap. In short, we learn decisions like the XUL add-ons' deprecation just like anyone else, i.e. when a post about it is released on a Mozilla blog. We don't get extra help or discussion about our own products and ecosystem, we don't get extra information about a migration plan towards html-based UI. We're left in limbos, as if Mozilla did not care at all, I repeat at all, about its ecosystem. 4. I will use XUL as long as I can to maintain BlueGriffon. It is unfortunately harder to dive into Gecko's guts at this time just because of time commitments. And to be honest, I'm not sure I am in the best mood about a project that cares so little about its ecosystem these days. 5. BlueGriffon remains well alive with a vibrant users community around it. But I'm almost alone maintaining it and the revenue stream I get from it is not enough. So I need extra revenue streams that take me a lot of time. I don't really know what else to say. </Daniel> So is it worth while to spend resources on this project. CC:

nic Needs to import bluegriffon instead of obsoleted kompozer by wally. OpenMandriva has version 3.1: http://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/3.0/repository/SRPMS/contrib/testing/bluegriffon-3.1-1.src.rpm CC:

loginov_alex I have been successfully using Bluegriffon on M7 for several months now. Download the app, drag the executable to the desktop and off you go. Only negative so far is that he charges Euros 7.5 for the docs. bluegriffon-3.1-1.mga7 has been imported by Stig-Ørjan and is building now (hopefully successfully). Fixed. Resolution:
