There are API and build issues with upgrading (across all platforms); not huge, but not trivial. However, Oolite depends on SpiderMonkey being built with the JS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8 feature macro enabled, while Firefox currently depends on it not being enabled. (There’s a runtime check in Oolite for this.) Switching to JS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8 is a to-do for Mozilla 2.0, as attempting to do it for 1.9 broke stuff. (Specifically, bits of Mozilla incorrectly use strings as a binary blob, and fixing this requires API changes.) This is Mozilla bug 315288, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315288 Until Mozilla 2.0 and whatever the relevant versions of Firefox etc. will be, Oolite won't be able to use system-provided SpiderMonkey. If we reverted to stone-age string handling in Oolite to work around this, we'd be incompatible when the Mozilla issue is fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
