Comment 1 nomnex 2011-08-25 01:05:46 UTC
May I request a xulrunner update of the chmsee package, and wouldn't it be advisable to use 2 packages, as explained in the answer below, to avoid further breakage after a FF update? In advance, thanks for your time.

Sorry about this buggy software:(

After mozilla upgrading to xulrunner 5.0, the gtkmoz-embedded component which chmsee 1.3.* depended is dropped. I guess the old patch (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=71713) is still worked with the old xulrunner. When you update Fedora, the old xulrunner gone, the dependence is broken, chmsee cannot launch again.

Some distributions maintain two different versions xulrunner to support some old packages. I recommend you to find whether there is an old xulrunner lib (maybe named libxul) existed in Fedora 15.

Comment 2 Peng Wu 2011-08-25 02:25:45 UTC
Sorry, the xulrunner 6.0 has changed many contents, such as remove GRE functions.
I tried to force chmsee compile with xulrunner 6.0, but still crashes when launch.
the libxul is named xulrunner in Fedora.

As chmsee 2.0 will switch to use xulrunner 6.0, Please wait for chmsee 2.0 release.
Or you can compile the v1.99.05 by yourself, see chmsee README.

Thank you Peng. I will wait for v 2. Will it be available through testing-update on Fedora 15?

As chmsee 2.0 is not released yet, hard to predict.
But if possible, I will try to update it for Fedora 15.

Comment 5 nomnex 2011-09-01 05:18:57 UTC
Thanks for the feedback, Peng. I hope I will read my chm books in chmsee again.

Comment 6 tha.alkaholik 2011-10-07 09:47:32 UTC
I had the same bug here, I think it works if GRE_HOME is set to point to xulrunner:

$ GRE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner-2/ chmsee 

I hope to know why it works if it does !!

Comment 7 Peng Wu 2011-10-10 02:36:46 UTC
I got the result:
$ GRE_HOME=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-2/ chmsee
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Comment 8 Yijun Yuan 2011-10-10 10:02:03 UTC
@pwu do you think it is a good idea to push 1.99? I have them built on koji.

Comment 9 Peng Wu 2011-10-11 02:34:11 UTC
I think it is good to push it on F-15/F-16, as currently chmsee can't be launched on F-15.
Please update chmsee for Fedora, Thanks very much.

Comment 10 nomnex 2011-10-14 10:35:47 UTC
great, Yuan, can you post back when the package is available in bodhi.

Comment 11 nomnex 2011-11-08 01:30:17 UTC
Yuan Yijun, any update about chmsee 1.99 package for F-15? Thanks

@nomnex just submitted to bodhi..

Comment 14 nomnex 2011-11-09 06:00:32 UTC
@Yuan, great, thanks!

Once it has been pushed (True), the command to test it is:
# su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing chmsee-1.99-0.4.5.git7fb12b8.fc15'?

I don't see the chmsee-1.99-0.4.5.git7fb12b8.fc15 anymore?

Comment 17 Yijun Yuan 2011-11-17 03:43:52 UTC
@nomnex I withdrew the updates because it will not work for xulrunner-8, another build is necessary. But I haven't submit the new build either..

Thank you for the answer. Firefox 8 is still in testing repo. Do you plan to build Chmsee w/xulrunner-8?

What's the life span of a FF version today? Chmsee will have to be re-build with xulrunner-9 once FF9 is out. Is that correct?

Comment 19 Yijun Yuan 2011-11-17 14:03:23 UTC
Hope chmsee-2.0 will release before FF9. :)

Comment 27 nomnex 2011-12-23 10:26:29 UTC
Firefox 9 is out. Is Chmsee going to break again, as soon as F9 is the Fedora repo?

probably yes.. I've no idea how to request a synthetic build..

Comment 29 nomnex 2011-12-25 22:11:04 UTC
Is it okay to ask you for a build update, if F9 xlrunner breaks chmsee?

Maybe you could try to use http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bodhi/BuildRootOverrides.
Before you build chmsee, use bodhi to check whether xulrunner 9 is in Koji Buildroot Overrides.

Comment 31 nomnex 2012-01-25 07:37:25 UTC
FF9 is out, in the stable repos.
Chmsee is broken again.
Do I need to open a new bug?
Thanks.
