Bug 438728

reassigning to version rawhide - sorry for not doing that before

OK, rebuilt on koji:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=43731

should be included in tommorrow's rawhide.  I'd appreciate it if you could
download the RPM and try and manually install it.  According to the blog post:

http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2008/03/announcing-miro-12-a-major-update/

this is supposed to properly support xulrunner 

although the release notes only specifically mentions the xulrunner fix in the
Windows context:

https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/wiki/1.2ReleaseNotes

In any case, I managed to remove most of the xulrunner patch and it still built,
(although setup.py still required patching).  Haven't had a chance to test
myself but hopefully this will move us closer to closing bug #393521.

I just tested it and it fails to start with the following output:

[dennis@nexus ~]$ miro

OK apparently the release notes in the blog post:

http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2008/03/announcing-miro-12-a-major-update/

"On Windows and Linux, we updated to XULRunner 1.9, which brings memory and
performance improvements."

is (partially) incorrect.  xulrunner support was only added for Windows, see:

http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9499#c10

Unfortunately the Linux xulrunner-related bug (which I originally opened) has
not yet been touched:

http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9370

So it builds, but doesn't run.  This isn't really any worse than the previous
1.1.2 which built but wasn't really usable (bug #393521), although that version
didn't crash.  Unfortunately the xulrunner patch that I applied to 1.1.2 doesn't
apply to 1.2.

Alex, they care about Linux like people care about orphaned dogs...

They probably aren't interested in replacing GtkMozEmbed on the left with
appropriate GtkTreeView, which would only make an performance improvement...

According to this blog entry there is a snapshot 1.2.2 that runs at least on
Ubuntu with xulrunner 1.9. I tried getting it to work on F9 but failed:

http://pculture.org/devblogs/wguaraldi/2008/03/26/gtkx11-platform-and-xulrunner-19-status/

I got it to compile (some #include directives were missing) but it still doesn't
work properly when started.

Thanks!  I'm already on the bug that's mentioned in the blog post:

http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9692

but for some reason Will didn't post the blog post on the bug.

Since this bug is really about updating to 1.2, which is already done (about to
push F-7, F-8 builds too) I'm going to change this bug to be for F-8 and it will
close once F-7 and F-8 builds are pushed to updates (stable).

There is already bug #393521 for tracking the xulrunner issues, if you want to
track the xulrunner status, please Cc yourself to that bug.
