I have found that the server is down for me probably a total of 3 out of 10 tries. Usually if I wait half a day it will be back and working. When it fails I get a DNS error (can't find site).

Anyone know why the optimized builds, in the "About Camino" pane show the build as 0000000000 (v0.8+) ? In the official nightlies there is the build number (which includes the date) in there... Is something missing in the config files for the build?

(I am not knocking the builds at all, I am just curious)

The correct value shows up in the UserAgent string, however.

I saw something somewhere about that when I was poking around in the Camino files, but I can't remember where it was. Next time I build I'll take a look and see if I can find it again.

There are some environment variables that you have to set (see http://mozilla.org/build/distribution.html ):
MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
BUILD_OFFICIAL=1

Ah yes. That's right. I knew I had seen it somewhere.

FWIW, the reason those of us building unofficial optimised builds for download aren't building like that is that Mozilla says not to. For your own private use, though, you're free to build using whatever flags you wish.

Speed Testing Results

I apologise for not having gotten something up sooner. It sort of slipped my mind, plus I got tied up doing other stuff.

I've mostly completed JavaScript benchmarking on my TiBook/800MHz/512MB/Mac OS X 10.3.7. Applications tested were three different Camino builds from a few nights ago: official nightly, my own build with the -O3 optimisation (and others in Powerbook's .mozconfig file), and my own build with the -Os optimisation instead of -O3. I performed the tests here:

http://www.world-direct.com/mozilla/dht ... meTest.htm

I first quit Camino, then cleared both the cache and history from within the Finder itself. I then launched the test version, went directly to that site (which was bookmarked), and ran all tests. This was repeated five times with each of the three Camino builds, with the browser being quit and the history and cache being cleared before each test iteration.

If anyone wants raw numbers, I can post something, but the general conclusion is this: <b>JavaScript code is not affected by any appreciable amount regardless of the optimisation level.</b>

FYI: The 1/4 and 1/5 builds won't launch for me (but 1/3 is OK). I'm using 10.2.8 on a 17" G4/800 iMac.
