As of September 8th, 0.8 is the new stable release of swfdec. Reproducible: Always
please DO NOT fill zero day bump requests, we already know when most software related to gnome is out since we are subscribed to relevant mailing lists. Plus we've been asked to not bump it yet because it has issues with firefox.

I wasn't my intention to pressure anybody. About the firefox bug(s): i did take a look at mozzila's bugzilla, but the first firefox bug didn't look like a show stopper, and second was against RC builds, so that probably mislead me. I'll try to be more informed next time. Sorry again.
hm, how about a masked one? because not everyone uses firefox, you know... :)
Created attachment 165341 [details, diff] ebuild patch (0.7.4 -> 0.8.0) *) Added 'debug' USE flag and enabled 'gtk' by default. *) --disable-ffmpeg and --disable-mad aren't valid configure options any longer. *) To run the tests you need >=x11-libs/cairo-1.7.1, which is p.masked in portage at the moment. I didn't try. *) Firefox 3.0.2 should solve the crashes in windowless mode. I guess that a masked version bump (at least for swfdec-mozilla) is the best option now, it will be unmasked later when >=firefox-3.0.2 is available in the tree.
Daniel: I've seen that you bumped swfdec in portage. Could you please look at the improvements I suggested in my ebuild patch above?
So 0.8.0 has been in the tree and also unmasked for a while. Retitling to see what this bug is about now, and hopefully someone will be able to take a look soon (some of us busy with GNOME 2.24 instead)
Essentially, the changes I'm suggesting are: *) New 'debug' USE flag which enables the compilation of vivified debugger (it also needs additional deps, see attached patch). *) Enable 'gtk' USE flag by default, since net-www/swfdec-mozilla requires it but non-gnome users will probably have it disabled. Alternatively, switch net-www/swfdec-mozilla to EAPI=2 and depend on ">=media-libs/swfdec-0.8[gtk]". *) --disable-ffmpeg and --disable-mad aren't valid configure options any longer: remove them. *) Raise cairo dep to ">=x11-libs/cairo-1.8", as required by tests.
Comments based on 0.8.2 (In reply to comment #7) > *) New 'debug' USE flag which enables the compilation of vivified debugger (it > also needs additional deps, see attached patch).

please get back to us wrt to last comment.

Furthermore, the README says >=liboil-0.3.6 and >=gstreamer-0.10.15 are needed. Please adjust the deps.
I cannot reopen the bug since I'm not the original reporter...
re-openining
configure says liboil 0.3.1, and the gstreamer dep is a bit more complicated. Unless a problem turns up, we'll consider configure canonical. Upping the cairo dep does not get tests to pass for me, and it ties stabilization of swfdec to cairo, so tests stay restricted for now, until someone has time to figure out why they're failing. I've removed --disable-ffmpeg and --disable-mad, thanks.
