gecko-mediaplayer depends on firefox metapackage

Diff with improved changelog entry.

Are you sure that this won't install firefox-3.0? I haven't tested it myself yet, but I thought using that syntax for dependencies would attempt to install the first, then the second etc if the first oe can't be found at all.

I have tested it with removing all supported browsers (mentioned in the test-case), and installing firefox-2. When I try to install gecko-mediaplayer, it installs correctly, without installing firefox-3.0.

In the case when user has no supported browser installed, it will try to install firefox-3.0. I suppose that is OK, since firefox-3.0 is installed by default in hardy.

Ok ACK.

Subscribed u-u-s for sponsoring the upload to hardy-proposed.

I have sponsored this, but note that the version you used was wrong; you used 0.6.0-0ubuntu2.1 but the last hardy one is 0.6.0-0ubuntu1, so I changed the hardy-proposed one accordingly.
Note also that we are still ok with the gnome-mplayer dependency while your change would have broken the package (gecko-mediaplayer requires gnome-mplayer to be >= its own version).

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

works for me: +1

unsubscribing u-u-s

Works fine.

+1, installed fine with only firefox-2 installed.

Copied to hardy-updates.

Hi,

with Depends pointing to firefox-3.0 only in karmic, if firefox 3.5 is installed, then installing gecko-mediaplayer pulls firefox-3.0.

Hello all,

I fear, this bug has arisen again:

This morning, I freshly installed xubuntu 9.10 and updated it using the Update Manager.
Then, I removed firefox-3.5 and installed opera using the Synaptic Package Manager.

Following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser (title: Video plugins) I marked the gecko-mediaplayer for installation, applying the changes I realized that the firefox-3.5 had been marked also.
And, hence, installed firefox onto my system.

When I marked firefox-3.5 for deletion, it would also mark the gecko-mediaplayer for deletion.

My understanding is that there is no necessary dependency between the two packages gecko-mediaplayer and firefox-3.5.

Regards,

If gecko-mediaplayer and opera are compatible we simply need to add opera in the list of possible Dependencies.
Kevin, are they compatible, and if so is there a minimum required opera version?

I believe it is compatible, and I think you need Opera 9.5, but it has
really been a long time since I have have tried it.

@tensproxy: can you pls. report back if it works with Opera as is?

I apologize for my late reply.

Gecko Mediaplayer works in Opera 10.10 Build 4742 on a Linux platform using a i686 system and 2.6.31-19-generic kernel.
