Netsurf 3.9

Will you laugh at me asking for a package of a little internet browser Netsurf for the dated Salix 14.1?

This we have version 3.3 in the repositories from 2015. That version crashes unfortuneatly while using some websites. To fix it, the developers recommended to update Netsurf. I'm running this on Salix 14.1 and 14.2.
So I downloaded the source code from the Netsurf homepage:

https://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/source/

The current Netsurf version 3.10 somehow doesn't compile here on Salix 14.1, throwing an error. But Netsurf 3.9 does. What about adding it to the Sourcery list?

Yes, netsurf 3.10 does not compile in 14.1. I think it's because openssl is just too old.

I have uploaded packages for 3.9 in 14.1, and for 3.10 in 14.2 and 15.0 repos. Because, why not? :mrgreen:

Thank you, looks good! I just downloaded 3.9 with "slapt-get".

But now there is still the old 3.3 listed in Sourcery. Do you want to keep both versions?
