Since i maintain galeon, i got word from an upstream developer that xulrunner is still not exactly in a nice state to work with. To quote him: "I'm holding off on this until mozilla sorts out the microb problem. Apparently a good chunk of the brokenness is due to a bunch of unreviewed microb (the n800 browser) patches being committed. They claim they are going to back them out. Hopefully after that, [galeon] won't be so crippled.".
I know almost nothing about mozilla/xulrunner upstream development, but I have to ask: it's not just them (the packages that depend on firefox) that have to be ready for xulrunner, will xulrunner also be ready for them ? :-) (i.e. with enough time for maintainers/upstream to port/debug ?)
I hope this will be fixed before the final firefox 3 release. If you have any serious problem please file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org (or bugzilla.redhat.com and I'll move it upstream).
Things are still fresh and any feedback is highly appreciated.
If it comes to that, I hope we can debate whether it should not be xulrunner that gets dropped and firefox-devel restored (assuming that's even possible).
We are not going to ship two firefox versions (2 and 3). Xulrunner-devel is generally a firefox3-devel package, there isn't any difference and I believe all developers will be able to transfer their packages to Firefox 3 (or xulrunner in our distro).
