[Edbrowse-dev] Update Edbrowse

[Edbrowse-dev] Update Edbrowse

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe]

Hi,

Today we've updated the Debian-specific points of the Edbrowse package. I know an important work was done to work on Debian with js, and I waited for a release to package it as I didn't want to package a dev branch. Given that's not done and the freeze comes soon, I wonder if it would be possible to apply a patch, for Debian, to 4.10. Could you tell me if a patch is easy to do, e.g. a backport patch which contains diff needed to make js work as expected? Or differences in this matter are so big? What are the changes the patch should include (what files, I mean)?

Regards,

We've basically rewritten large parts of the code to update to mozjs 24,
but we were waiting to hear back from you on why edbrowse still fails to
compile correctly using the Debian packaged version. As previously mentioned on this list,
this is why we've not released the next version yet.
Have you managed to get the current development version of edbrowse to run when
compiled against the Debian build of mozjs?
Any input on this would be much appreciated as I think I can speak for all of
us when I say we'd like to get a release out before the Debian freeze.

Cheers,
Adam.

Hi,

I can tell you that a release will be in Debian before freeze, that's 
sure. I had not seen the feedback expected. So I build immediately the 
dev release again, I upload to experimental repo, I make it test on 
debian-a11y ML and tell you on 1st week in September the results. Then, 
as soon as there's a release, I upload to sid and speed the process.

Regards,

Slight correction.  It builds fine, but it segfaults.

Re: [Edbrowse-dev] Update Edbrowse

Hi,

The package has just been uploaded to experimental repo. It will be 
available in some hours, to let the time mirror pool to see it. You can 
test it yourself, of course, from experimental.


It builds properly with libmozjs24 which contains jsapi.h and what is 
needed. However, I would like to inform you that this package is not 
maintained so far, so the jsapi.h seems available rather in icedove-dev 
package (which contains headers for icedove). It means that, for any 
reasons, Edbrowse will not build properly against JS stack 31. I don't 
think it's a problem for freeze, but maybe we should consider testing 
this to prepare the future?

After checking, freeze happens on November. So:
1. Do you want now to work on compatibility with JS 31?
2. Otherwise, I propose we wait end of September to be sure Edbrowse 
builds on any architecture without problem. Next, you could release in 
1st 15 days of October. Then I could introduce the released package in 
sid (October, 15th), and it willl go to testing (and be frozen) on 
Octoberb 25th.
Does it fit? Do you want a more restricted schedule?

Regards,

Ok, will do.

I'm going to have alook at this, since at the last time of checking,
the js 31 package (from experimental)
contained a broken symlink in place of jsapi.h.
Also, do you know of any docs for mozjs 31,
as all docs on the mozilla website talk about mozjs 24.

The timings sound fine to me provided the new edbrowse package runs correctly.
Incidentally, I'd be interested to see how you built this as the last time I
tried against a Debian packaged mozjs  it segfaulted as soon as you attempted to run it.

Cheers,
Adam.

The situation of JS support in Mozilla 31 is not clear for me. That is 
why I filled bug 758928 on Debian about libmozjs, so that the maintainer 
could explain to me the situation. We can also write to 
icedove-dev@packages.debian.org to contact the maintainers and asking. 
It's my next task if no an]ier on my "bug" report.

You can see the package with apt-get source edbrowse. I think it ships 
the debian/ dir. See rules file to see what happens. If you want to try 
seeing exactly what does dh-auto_build, you can run pdebuild or 
dpkg-buildpackage and you will see the commands it run (as it displays 
make output).

I do not any particular thing, but I rely on libmozjs24.0 package, which 
seems more reliable. That's also why I wait for September 15th, to see 
if someone has a segfault or if the Debian Release team find a conflict 
with a Mozilla tool (that is why it was removed from Debian). Feedbacks 
will enable to test now it works. Maybe the libmozjs had a successful 
update.

Ok, so it looks like mozjs 24 *should* be maintained, at least according to how I read the bug report.

Ok, where do I download this source package from as apt-get -t experimental source edbrowse
still downloads the old version.

Ok. If mozjs 24 is going to be in the next release of Debian then we probably
want to make edbrowse work correctly with this mozjs,
then look at the later versions of the mozilla js code as and when they become
properly documented and released.

Cheers,
Adam.

experimental source edbrowse still downloads the old version.

Have you added experimental repo in your sources.list? Otherwise, you 
can find the package on snapshot.debian.org in the latest release.

Just to tell you: 3.4.10-1 release is in testing now. So I think we will 
port Edbrowse into sid in a few time. If you want to release, not bad 
feedback so far.
