[solved] Howto get midori in newer version?

Post by obgr_seneca »

Hi,
I just installed Gloria yesterday in the evening and am now experimenting a bit with it. Since my hardware isn't the newest you can find (PIII-900, 256MB RAM), I'm always looking for lightweight software, so I prefer Midori as a webbrowser.

Now, my problem is, Midori is in version 0.1.2 in Gloria, which is rather unstable (e.g. you can't brose to http://www.linuxmint.com or forum.mandriva.com because it crashes every time you try). At another forum (http://www.mandrivauser.de) I'm unable to post anything using Midori.

So I wanted to ask, if there is a possibility to get the newest Midori-version (0.1.8) without having to compile it (and probably a newer version of webkit as a dependency). Is there some kind of "backports" repository where you can find newer software for Mint backported from the development tree?

Thanks,

Oliver

Thanks. Now I'm using Midori-0.1.8 which is working way more stable.

I had a little problem adding those repos, since I've not used a deb-based distro in the last few years and Mandriva's urpm is working totally different...

But now everything's all right.
