How reproducible:
always

I tried to update .spec. Seems it works for me. Note: to webpack nodejs package is required, I bundle it to .spec.

Yes, mozilla-adblockplus recompiled with attachment 1353291 [details] specs works with Firefox 57 just fine.  Thanks!  Any "official" movement in this matter.  Koji records now the last successful activity for this package in June.

Comment 3 Andre Robatino 2017-11-23 19:08:35 UTC
I suspect that the current assignee for this bug is no longer active. Koji shows that almost all builds back to at least early 2014 were made by either rathann (who just packaged the new mozilla-noscript) or niveusluna.

Comment 4 Benjamin Kreuter 2017-11-29 00:26:38 UTC
Any movement?

Comment 5 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-12-03 01:48:56 UTC
Sorry, I switched to uBlock Origin some time ago and don't have much interest in ABP. The review request for uBO is in bug 1518671.

I may take a look at doing a new build of ABP just to make it work in FF57, but I'm pretty busy, so no promises.

Update spec

Comment 7 Ivan Romanov 2017-12-12 08:38:41 UTC
Can't build with new spec in mock. It requires network connection.

If you are unable or uninterested in maintaining this package, then please find a new (co)maintainer.

I'm a co-maintainer myself as you can check on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mozilla-adblockplus so I'm not sure why you're telling me this. I can remove myself from co-maintainers if that makes you happier.

Maybe, instead and for a benefit of users searching how to solve the problem, it should be noted instead that 'mozilla-ublock-origin' rpm package is available from current Fedora repos.  This package does work with recent versions of Firefox and provides functionality analogous to 'mozilla-adblockplus'.

I really cannot tell if making such switch "automatic" by suitable "Provides" and "Obsoletes" is a good idea or not.

Definitely not.  Adblock Plus is still maintained upstream; just our package is behind.

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:21:38 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

Comment 13 Ivan Romanov 2018-11-01 04:34:16 UTC
Not works in Fedora 29. In current state it's absolutely useless package.

Comment 14 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 20:35:57 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
