evolution-2.2.2-3 ----------------- * Sat Apr 30 2005 David Malcolm <dmalcolm@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2.2.2-3 - updated mozilla_build_version to 1.7.7
Any plans to use Firefox as Gecko-provider instead of Mozilla?
This will happen in the FC5 time frame. I am already working on splitting these out.
A boatload of apps require mozilla-nspr/-nss, but afaics the same files are provided by firefox:
[root@localhost ~]# for p in `rpm -ql mozilla-nss mozilla-nspr`; do rpm -ql firefox | grep `basename $p`; done; /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libnss3.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libsmime3.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libsoftokn3.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libssl3.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libplc4.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/libplds4.so
It installs the files, but does not Provide them. We strip out those provides in the spec
Also, apps like epiphany, galeon, yelp and liferea are built against the gecko provided by mozilla instead of firefox.
And this is a problem because why? Firefox 1.0.x and Mozilla 1.7.x are built off of the same Gecko source (there are a few really minor differences, but for embedding purposes, the APIs are all the same). The major differences are in UI and a few UI components, which embeddors don't, specifically the ones you mentioned, don't care about anyway. Mozilla Drivers are keeping the two branches (firefox 1.0/aviary and mozilla 1.7.x) in sync, with embeddors in mind.
