Packages provided by linux distributions usually prefer to depends on a shared library from another package rather than providing the same library in different packages (e.g. when there is a security problem the distribution only need to update 1 package; also save space on drive). Debian provides spidermonkey inside xulrunner packages that are already used by other packages. This is what I get on an Ubuntu 10.04: $ apt-cache rdepends xulrunner-1.9.1 xulrunner-1.9.1 Reverse Depends: zekr xulrunner-1.9.1-testsuite xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support xul-ext-flashgot |xul-ext-flashgot xul-ext-firecookie |xul-ext-firecookie xul-ext-firebug |xul-ext-firebug videolink python-hulahop |mozzemberek mozilla-nukeimage miro libgtk2-mozembed-perl libgtk-mozembed-ruby1.8 libgjs0 libgjs0 kazehakase-gecko galeon xulrunner-1.9.1-dev xulrunner-1.9.1-dbg $ apt-cache rdepends xulrunner-1.9.2 xulrunner-1.9.2 Reverse Depends: xulrunner-1.9.2-testsuite xulrunner-1.9.2-gnome-support xiphos tuxguitar prism mozzemberek moonlight-plugin-mozilla google-gadgets-xul gnome-web-photo fennec eclipse-rcp conkeror chmsee yelp xulrunner-1.9.2-dev python-gtkmozembed libswt-mozilla-gtk-3.5-jni couchdb-bin IIRC some time ago 0ad was able to link to the system spidermonkey.

Hi, is there a way to configure 0ad to link to the system SpiderMonkey library rather than the one in the SVN?

I noticed that inside the svn there are also windows binaries that get updated regularly. This make 'svn up' slow and increases the svn tarball. What about moving them to an http server?
