Hi,
a new firefox (3.6 beta 2) just hit rawhide (a.k.a f13). There are some changes which affect everyone who builds with xulrunner-devel-unstable package.
Mozilla decided to merge all include directories to one (mozbz#398573) and stop shipping stable/unstable packages. So all headers/libraries are merged to one big xulrunner-devel package (with respective pkgconfig files) and xulrunner-devel-unstable has been removed.
What does it mean for you?
1) Change xulrunner-devel-unstable to xulrunner-devel in spec. file BuildRequires.
2) Switch libxul-embedding-unstable.pc to libxul-embedding.pc or libxul-unstable.pc to libxul.pc in make/configure scripts.
3) Rebuild the package and report any problem to BZ.
ma.

Does this mean the API will finally be kept stable? Or is it now even harder to figure out what needs rebuilding and what not?

No code changes, just removed subdirs from include...
Hi
Would you please explain how do you come up with the Source0: %{name}-%{version}%{?pretag}.source.tar.bz2 taraballs? Even better, include it in a comment in the spec file or the fedora wiki somewhere.
I am trying to track a regression but having a hard time connecting these source tarballs to something in ftp.mozilla.org or hg.mozilla.org.
TIA Yanko

For what it's worth, I filed this bug a long time ago:

Perhaps we should continue to provide -unstable, though. Things that still need the unstable libs can continue Require -unstable which will make it a heck of a lot easier to figure out what to rebuild...

+1
Putting the unstable API in a separate package also makes it a bit harder for developers using Fedora as their development platform to naively rely on the unstable API.

+1. I'd like to see a decision made soon on whether you will provide -unstable or not. My xulrunner unstable dependent package (mozvoikko) has been broken in Rawhide for a few days now, I'd like to know which will be the best way to fix it.

Okay, what about this:
- all packages should switch to unified mozilla package config files, libxul-embedding.pc & libxul.pc. Old libxul-embedding-unstable.pc & libxul-unstable.pc will be provided for compatibility.
- packages built against unfrozen interfaces will keep BuildRequire: gecko-devel-unstable. It helps mozilla team to decide which packages should be rebuild in update.
You may identify frozen (stable) interface by:
- at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/EmbedInterfaceFreeze.html - at sources - look for "@status" string in appropriate idl file (in /usr/share/idl/xulrunner-sdk-1.9.2), all frozen interfaces have status "FROZEN" there.
Recently, a few F12 packages (looks like browser plug-ins only) are built against frozen (stable) interface [1] and all others require unstable interface.

Is this the same with the -python and -python-devel pacakges?

I'm not sure what's going on with python interface but it looks removed from 3.6. I'm still investigating it...

Having a quick google around the mozilla.org site I found the following mercurial repo [1] so it looks like its been split out to a separate project but I'm not 100% sure. Its used by hulahop/sugar-browse so it would be useful to add back in some form or another but I has issues building it but then I know very little about the mozilla build system.
Cheers, Peter
