Build log
yelp checks for xulrunner-1.9 not 2.0, this is still beta so I don't think anything will be done to check compatibility at this point on gnome herd side. You are free to patch and report your findings upstream though, I'm sure any patches would end up in the gnome overlay sooner or later since it would probably be integrated in 2.31 dev cycle.

If gnome herd does not want to fix not gonna happen on our end. Gnome should make a proper check and not depend on a specific version being avliable. I guess upstream didn't want to risk guessing API compatibility upfront given xulrunner history :) This is nothing more then an ebuild failure. --with-gecko=libxul-embedding ... this should be l --with-gecko=libxul and compile would be fine. meh ? that's weird, I remember we had to change this months ago for the same reason (1.8 to 1.9 or 1.9 to 1.9.1, can't remember). For now leave it closed failure will result either way. As we approach rc's we will reopen and worry about it then.

The Gnome devs drop support for gecko, in favor of webkit-gtk-1.3, so I'm afraid nothing will be done in the 2.31 for xulrunner. I took a deep look at the gecko.m4 made by the Gnome devs for xulrunner detection, and it has been designed for xulrunner-1.[7-9]. So this is more an UPSTREAM Resolution: Gnome Bugzilla reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625910 A not really effective solution is to wait for xulrunner being slotted in 2.0, but I don't really want to have two xulrunners installed just for a feature I never use. *** Bug 331205 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #10) > (In reply to comment #4) > > yelp checks for xulrunner-1.9 not 2.0, this is still beta so I don't think > > anything will be done to check compatibility at this point on gnome herd side. > > You are free to patch and report your findings upstream though, I'm sure any > > patches would end up in the gnome overlay sooner or later since it would > > probably be integrated in 2.31 dev cycle. > > > > Hi Gilles, I think you are right about xulrunner, but not about yelp. > > The Gnome devs drop support for gecko, in favor of webkit-gtk-1.3, so I'm > afraid nothing will be done in the 2.31 for xulrunner. > > I took a deep look at the gecko.m4 made by the Gnome devs for xulrunner > detection, and it has been designed for xulrunner-1.[7-9]. > So this is more an UPSTREAM Resolution: Gnome Bugzilla reference: > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625910 > > A not really effective solution is to wait for xulrunner being slotted in 2.0, > but I don't really want to have two xulrunners installed just for a feature I > never use. > 2.0 will not create a new slot. There would be no point in it. Seems nobody bothered to re-open in rc-phase, now we have ff 4 in tree and it still fails.

yelp-xulrunner-20.patch
OpenSUSE patch porting yelp to xul-2.0, please try it
Is xulrunner-2 really still slot 1.9 ? It seems to be. $ grep SLOT /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/*.ebuild /var/lib/layman/*/net-libs/xulrunner/*.ebuild /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-1.9.2.12.ebuild:SLOT="1.9" /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-1.9.2.13.ebuild:SLOT="1.9" /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-1.9.2.15.ebuild:SLOT="1.9" /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-2.0.ebuild:SLOT="1.9" /var/lib/layman/mozilla/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-2.0.ebuild:SLOT="1.9" (In reply to comment #16) > Is xulrunner-2 really still slot 1.9 ? Actually xulrunner should never had been slotted. This was done before I returned to gentoo. The reason we left it in slot-1.9 is due to the fact it will take more work then it is worth to patch it to suppport multiple instances being installed. Eventually I will get around to drop the slot all together.

The next stable firefox will be either 5.0 or 6.0, and both don't have any corresponding xulrunner versions. Just ran in to this bug and I see a huge point in stabilizing yelp-2.30.2-r6 as currently the ebuild is broken for many users. If there is a reason to not stabilize it then the ebuild needs to be updated to require a 1.9 version of xulrunner. *** Bug 389879 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
