remove xulrunner 1.8 and all left over rdepend binaries from karmic archive.

after discussion with loic, we decided that mobile-basic-flash should be removed completely from jaunty too. As its a rdepends of libxul0d, please remove both sources at the same time. Thanks!

There are still an awful lot of packages using xulrunner 1.8. I think we should get the {Build-},Depends list down a lot and then look at removing it.

build depends in universe

on libxul-dev are:

 + classpath
 + eclipse
 + gnome-chemistry-utils
 + pcmanx-gtk2

on libmozjs-dev:
 + bfilter
 + couchdb
 + edbrowse
 + gxine
 + libjavascript-perl
 + mediatomb

 - Alexander

AIUI, the consensus is that this is not actionable yet for xulrunner; unsubscribing ubuntu-archive.

Please reconsider this for karmic now, which should be enough time to deal with the failing rdepends. Thanks!

Steve's statement was that the reverse-build-deps should be trimmed down prior to removal, which I think is a reasonable position. Nothing has changed here yet regarding the number of reverse-dependencies since jaunty, so I think there's insufficient evidence that karmic gives enough time to deal with the rdepends if there's been no movement in the past two months.

gnome-chemistry-utils: merging latest from debian and moving to xulrunner-dev might do the trick - most likely we also need some configure.ac fixes though.

bfilter: nobody should use libmozjs-dev anymore.

uploaded with xulrunner-dev build depend

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-chemistry-utils - 0.8.6-1ubuntu6

---------------
gnome-chemistry-utils (0.8.6-1ubuntu6) karmic; urgency=low

  De-libxul-dev'ification (LP: #352968)
  * debian/control: transition build depend from libxul-dev to xulrunner-dev
  * debian/rules: add --with-mozilla-libdir=/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/
    to configure flags
  * debian/gcu-plugin.{links,dirs}: remove not needed debhelper files
  * debian/gcu-plugin.install: use mozilla-libdir from above

couchdb: needs to move away from libmozjs-dev

unsubscribing ubuntu-archive to reduce noise while fixing most of the rdepends.

This bug was fixed in the package couchdb - 0.9.0-2ubuntu1

---------------
couchdb (0.9.0-2ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  De-libmoz-dev'ification (LP: #352968)
  * debian/control: transition from libmozjs-dev to xulrunner-dev in ubuntu
  * debian/control: add xulrunner-1.9 as explicit dependency for couchdb package
  * debian/patches/mozjs_ldlibpath.patch: explicitly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
    pkglibdir of current installed xulrunner version on startup; this works around
    the fact that couchdb relies on the not publicly exported libmozjs

 -- Alexander Sack <email address hidden> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:39:54 +0200

This bug was fixed in the package bfilter - 1.1.4-1ubuntu1

---------------
bfilter (1.1.4-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  De-libxul-dev'ification (LP: #352968):
  * debian/control:drop build-dependency on libmozjs-dev; use xulrunner-dev
    instead; explicitly add xulrunner-1.9 binary depends for bfilter and
    bfilter-gui package
  * debian/rules adjust LIBS and CPPFLAGS accordingly; also use --as-needed
    to prevent mozjs being linked in everywhere.
  * debian/bin/{bfilter,bfilter-gui}: add wrapper scripts that set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    properly for mozjs
  * debian/{bfilter.install,bfilter-gui.install}: install wrapper scripts to usr/bin
    and move the wrapped binaries to pkglidir
  * debian/rules: make debian/bin/ wrapper scripts executable in pre-build

Tell me if i am wrong but I had to install xulrunner to make it work (as well as setting its path in eclipse env)
regards, else starting did fail for me

--
http://rzr.online.fr/q/eclipse

to get the last rdepends out i filed a removal request for eclipse now: bug 425687

This is fixed with a sync of eclipse 3.4.1-1 from Debian.

See also bug 365319 and bug 459532 related to xulrunner's python-xpcom package.

In pcmanx-gtk2
Fixed in proposed merge for Lucid
(LP: #482944)

This bug was fixed in the package pcmanx-gtk2 - 0.3.9-2ubuntu1

---------------

      (meta-package) must alternatively Depend/Recommend/Suggest abrowser
    - debian/mozilla-plugin-pcmanx.links: s/iceape/seamonkey/;

---------------
classpath (2:0.98-5ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing (LP: #405290, #352968, #499582). Remaining

      and conflicts with gcj-jdk
    - 90_fix_ftbfs_warn_unused_result.dpatch

    - Don't install gappletviewer.1.gz: Integrated in Debian
    - Updated build dependency on gcj to gcj-jdk: not necessary anymore
    - added fno-strict-aliasing to CFLAGS: fixed upstream
    - Recommend firefox instead of mozilla-firefox: not necessary anymore as
      package gcjwebplugin is disabled
    - fix for bug #272772: package gcjwebplugin is disabled
    - changed build-depends on iceape-dev to libxul-dev: done in Debian
    - Add libsamplerate0-dev to Build-Depends: bug 25849 has been fixed
  * Debian/rules: updated CPPFLAGS for xulrunner-1.9.1.7. This fix a FTBFS.

Where does this bug stand?

xulrunner is the only task left open, so I presume it is ok to remove it?
However, ubuntu-archive isn't subscribed so we won't act unless this is
being tracked by some other means.

Please leave a comment and subscribe ubuntu-archive if you want xulrunner
to be removed, or this requires some other action from us.

Thanks,

James

yes, please remove xulrunner 1.8 ... thx.
