[gentoo-user] incompatibility between OOo and firefox 3 ?

[gentoo-user] incompatibility between OOo and firefox 3 ?

[b.n.]

Hi,
Not being quite an early adopter, I was nonetheless thinking about 
upgrading to firefox-3.

I did a bit of googling and I found this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228283
where the final comment says that OOo 2.4.x and firefox 3 are not 
compatible. The bug is signed as INVALID.

What does it mean? Aren't they really compatible? And why?

m.

I can't answer your last question but give you an advice how to handle 
the ff upgrade. Just remove all firefox useflags and add the xulrunner 
instead.

I included java, but never tried moznopango. Java is working.

What you have to do is to remove the 'firefox' USE flag from all other
ebuilds. You do not have to remove the use flags from the
mozilla-firefox ebuild.

Oh, ok! I understand now.
Why is it so? Will need to be done also when firefox 3 hits stable x86?

OOo 2.4.1 depends on the Mozilla 1.8 libraries, which it can get
from either  Fx 2 or xulrunner 1.8.x.

Fx 3 uses Mozilla 1.9 libs (which are also available in 
xulrunner 1.9.x).

I believe the reason xulrunner is slotted is so that there's always
something that can supply dependencies.  I'm not sure what the plan is
for stabilizing Fx 3.

no.

Just set the xulrunner useflag in make.conf and unset the firefox flag. There 
is no ebuild editing needed.

I've been using Firefox 3.0.1 & OpenOffice 2.4.1 since 080719
& have encountered no problems.  For Firefox, my USE flags are :

  USE="-bindist -custom-optimization dbus -gnome -iceweasel -ipv6 java
       -mozdevelop -restrict-javascript -startup-notification -xulrunner"

and for OpenOffice :

  USE="-binfilter cups dbus -debug -eds -firefox -gnome -gstreamer gtk java
       kde -ldap -mono -odk opengl -pam -seamonkey -xulrunner"

my system LANG is 'en_US.UTF-8'.

This is so because a number of apps don't build against Firefox 3 at 
this time.

Guess I'll wait for it to hit stable.
