I package dolphin-emu, and I would like to unbundle cubeb. It seems like the upstream is: https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb But this also lead me to find what looks like a downstream source: https://github.com/Mozilla/cubeb And it appears that tree is then cleaned up and pulled into Firefox. I was going to package cubeb and unbundle it from dolphin-emu, but I figure I should do my due diligence and contact the firefox maintainers first to discuss if there is a desire to also unbundle cubeb in Firefox too. As well, if there is no desire to unbundle cubeb, firefox might need to add a bundle provides in the spec like so: Provides: bundled(cubeb) Please let me know if you guys have any thoughts on the matter.
I found some writing about it on the Mozilla blog: https://blog.mozilla.org/webrtc/firefoxs-audio-backend/ I will be opening a review request if I get something building. I will share a link here afterwards. I would assume co-maintainership with a firefox maintainer would be best if it can be unbundled in firefox.
Guys, I'm sorry but we don't have resources to add more workload to Fedora Firefox team. We have barely resources to maintain Firefox at Fedora as is. If you want any changes there I'm not against you also need to make sure Firefox builds with your package and so on and also solve potential build failures/issues.
Understood. I will proceed with the new package; I've linked the new review request bug as FYI. After cubeb is accepted and built in rawhide, I'll try to mock something up and make a pull request if I can build firefox against the shared cubeb.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle. Changing version to 33.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '33'. 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 33 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 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 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. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
