Bug Description

Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/python-xpcom exists in intrepid but is built from xulrunner (1.8). We need a python-xpcom(-1.9?) for xulrunner-1.9 too.

This is a dependency for sugar-hulahop for the Sugar project (https://edge.launchpad.net/sucrose) - I'm attempting to get that synced from debian into universe, and in my PPA it FTBFS because of that: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18159800/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.sugar-hulahop_0.4.1-2ubuntu1~ppa2_MANUALDEPWAIT.txt.gz

IRC fragment:

<marcopg_> probably because pyxpcom was broken on 1.9
<marcopg_> but now it builds fine
<marcopg_> morgs: tell them that fedora just packaged it :)
<marcopg_> ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default,python/xpcom
<marcopg_> they should use this option
<marcopg_> to enable it
<marcopg_> (otherwise they will get build failures)

<asac> morgs: we dont have a package split for it, but in theory python-xpcom should be in the xulrunner-1.9 package
<asac> morgs: dpkg -L xulrunner-1.9 | grep python

Changed in xulrunner-1.9:

Morgan, would you please post your PPA URL so that anyone can work on creating a 'python-xpcom-1.9' package?

Thanks

sevenseeker, I have cleaned my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~morgan/+archive) which I was using to test the building of Sugar packages including (in this case) sugar-hulahop.

Alexander Sack pointed out that xulrunner-1.9 included the python bindings (which for xulrunner-1.8 were in a separate package) so all I had to do was change my build-deps from debian's "python-xpcom, xulrunner-dev" (IIRC) to "xulrunner-1.9-dev".

If you want to split it out for jaunty, see the xulrunner 1.8 packaging.

OK, the 'in theory' part made me believe it was not so.

Thanks for the info.

OK. How many packages do depend on the old python-xpcom? Is this one
of the rare examples or do we need a proper transition somehow?
