Request updated netsurf 3.11 [Solved]

[TheBSODFan]

Netsurf 3.11 is already released in December 2023.
Can you Backport it to MX-21 and MX-23?

[Eadwine Rose]

If you open the MXPI, it is in the flatpaks tab.

i prefer the debian package instead and also backport to antix repo

edit, netsurf-gtk is available now in mx23 testrepo. so, i will mark as accept.

Weirdly enough, Google Drive was rejecting my uploads of the original source tarball (netsurf_3.11.orig.tar.gz) from the Debian repo, and is the source tarball from Netsurf, since it detected malware. I ran the file through some online scanners, and 3 out of 15 found different things, so it might be signatures that Netsurf uses to recognize malware...

Source code is just text and compression might perhaps create a pattern that resembles malware signatures...go figure.

Well, the scanners are smart enough to extract the tarballs before running the scans...I thought of encrypting my uploads to defeat that, but...naannnnh.

... Nice, I like netsurf too (small & fast), for my old & small eepc x32 (a version 3.12-dev exist as beta too)

FI: it is prety easy to compile it by yourself. https://source.netsurf-browser.org/nets ... k-start.md
