[opensuse-gnome] XULRunner crash (bug #239911)
Hello all, This is my first post to this mailing list. As a volunteer on the Epiphany project, I hope people here can help in finding the right channels to resolve this problem; I have been trying for a while without results. As you may know, XULRunner is a version of Gecko, the Mozilla rendering core, meant for embedding. In OpenSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 alpha, the GNOME modules Epiphany and Yelp use it. The XULRunner version bundled with 10.2 and 10.3 alpha is a buggy one that crashes each time a user tries to print something. This has caused a steady stream of bug-buddy crash reports in GNOME bugzilla. A bug in Novell bugzilla was opened in January this year: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239911 Unfortunately, this bug seems to have been largely ignored by Novell. In the mean time, the problem has been fixed in XULRunner trunk a long time ago. It is my hope that the OpenSUSE community can prevent this bug from going into the 10.3 release and maybe could issue an update for 10.2. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I updated the mozilla-xulrunner181 package eight days ago. As for updating it in in 10.2, I'll look into it early next week. I can't promise that I'll get approval, though. Do you think updating it would break anything else? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
Hello Michael,
I updated the mozilla-xulrunner181 package eight days ago.
Thank you very much. I wasn't aware of that.
As for updating it in in 10.2, I'll look into it early next week. I can't promise that I'll get approval, though. Do you think updating it would break anything else?
As far as I've been able to find out, Epiphany, Yelp, Liferea, and Gnome-web-photo depend on XULrunner. The fix for this is just a three-line patch (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=240320&action=edit) so I'm pretty sure it fixes more than it breaks. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

It looks like the update will go out once it makes it past QA. I hope that'll be soon, but, again, I don't want to promise anything just yet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
