[opensuse-factory-mozilla] discover build options without installing possible?
Mozilla.org upstream 52 and esr52 Firefox builds both are built to require Pulseaudio. Is there any way to discover without installing and opening about:buildconfig what build options are used for openSUSE rpms? I downloaded firefox-esr-52.3.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm and searched its changelog without discovering any mention of --disable-pulseaudio. :-( I'm still using 45esr in part to avoid having to add pulseaudio to a system where everything else works without it, until I upgrade the whole system to 42.3. Same question about --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 waiting for the fix to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022830 IN_PROGRESS to show up on mirrors. Its fix https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/510082 currently declined was last touched 21 July, almost 3 weeks. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Why would we disable pulseaudio? https://www.rosenauer.org/hg/mozilla/file/85024ab72ccb/MozillaFirefox/Mozill... There you can find --enable-alsa therefore as I understand it "our" Firefox supports pulseaudio and/or alsa.

How about just testing if it works. I would expect it.

This touches Gtk which is completely out of my responsibility. Please check with Gtk/Gnome people. For the openSUSE Leap Firefox versions currently shipped this is not an issue as Firefox still uses Gtk2 there.

I misunderstood the build options regarding sound support, so asked the wrong question. In simpler terms, it would have been "can I install 52esr and still have FF sound working without installing pulseaudio?"

Because "just testing" is not that simple. Firefox rpms are either/or, no opportunity that I'm aware of to have more than one at a time, and it's not merely a single rpm to replace; plus there is profile management to consider. I currently have 11 for Firefox and 6 for SeaMonkey on this system alone.

This was mentioned only as a reason /why/ I'm not using 42.3 on this installation, thus /why/ I asked about toolkit used.

Good for people who can live with a single Firefox version, which is not me. Also, Firefox is hardly the only app used in TDE/KDE3/KDE5 broken by GTK3 upstream. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
