[Bug 441949] New: gconf-backend.patch in xulrunner 1. 9 introduces new libgconf requirement
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441949 Summary: gconf-backend.patch in xulrunner 1.9 introduces new libgconf requirement Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: hfiguiere@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer The redesigned libsystem-pref component (gconf-backend) creates a new runtime requirement to libgconf because the component is integral part of libxul.so. To remove gnome-vfs and gconf runtime requirements we splitted the -gnomevfs subpackage. I don't know if the new requirement is problematic (people doing liveCDs might know) but if it needs to be solved the solutions could be: - don't include the component into libxul but let is stay outside as external component and add it to the -gnomevfs subpackage - redesign the component (and if needed the libmozgnome.so component) to let all gconf transactions go through libmozgnome.so. That would actually disable the internal component but would also kill the library requirement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

libsystem-pref is now a built-in component in FireFox 3. That's a Firefox choice and didn't seem to be trivial to change.
- redesign the component (and if needed the libmozgnome.so component) to let all gconf transactions go through libmozgnome.so. That would actually disable the internal component but would also kill the library requirement.
