We need to propagate the patch upstream, at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

Comment 2 Marcin Juszkiewicz 2014-02-12 18:43:53 UTC
I have half of patch upstreamed already, few other parts are waiting in a queue.

This changeset uses patches which I submitted to Mozilla. Some of them are already merged (those provided as hg changesets), some are in a queue.

All our AArch64 patches went upstream. The only one left is libffi update where all we can do is watching how they go with update (which is now in testing).

Xulrunner may use same patchset.

Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2014-04-10 07:45:06 UTC
Great! When majority of the patches hit released upstream package we can enable the AArch64 patches in Fedora - I guess it's Firefox 29 or Firefox 30. Good work!
