Bug 249555 – www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.4-r1 should support --enable-extensions=python/xpcom

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180309
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jose Maria Garcia Perez 2008-12-01 23:29:05 UTC]

It would be great to be able to compile pyxpcom to be able to develop applications on python using gecko. To do so it would be great a new use flag: "pyxpcom", to make:
--enable-extensions=python/xpcom
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat mozilla-firefox-3.0.4-r1.ebuild | grep xpcom


Actual Results:  
(no output)

Expected Results:  
MEXTENSIONS="default,typeaheadfind,python/xpcom"

I've had to disable it due to bug 251210

I use the sugar overlay to provide a nice login for my three year olds, and
the safe browser widget hulahop depends on the python/xpcom extensions being
built.

Now I'm not sure why epiphany isn't playing nicely, but it sounds like you
need to disable python in the epiphany package and not this one, since xulrunner and its xpcom support is not themselves buggy.

The xulrunner in overlay support this
