firefox-3.0 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

firefox-3.0 (3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1) hardy-security; urgency=low

  * New major upstream release v3.6.6 (FIREFOX_3_6_6_RELEASE)
    - see USN-930-1
  * Note that sun-java5-plugin has no support for Firefox 3.6. Users of
    sun-java5-plugin are advised to upgrade to sun-java6-plugin

  * Switch to using unversioned binaries. This means that firefox and
    firefox-gnome-support are no longer meta-packages depending on the latest
    versioned binary packages, but they ship the binary components. Convert
    firefox-3.0* packages to meta packages which pull in the unversioned binaries
    to ensure a smooth upgrade path

  * Implement MIN_SYS_DEPS approach that does not use system xulrunner
    and only a minimal set of system dependencies.
    + drop patches not required anymore:
      - delete debian/patches/dont_depend_on_nspr_sources.patch
      - update debian/patches/series
    + move .install lines that depend on whether MIN_SYS_DEPS is used or not
      to debian/rules in ifneq (,$(MIN_SYS_DEPS)) blocks
      - update debian/rules
      - update debian/firefox.install
    + ship gnome support .so's inside of the main package, but keep dependencies in
      the (now empty) gnome-support package; to achieve this, we first install
      the gnome support files in the -gnome-support package and move them to the
      main package _after_ shlib depends where generated
      - update debian/rules
    + do not build-depend on xulrunner dev package anymore; local xulrunner builds
      with MIN_SYS_DEPS=0 should still work though
      - update debian/control
    + fix firefox.sh to handle all-static build
      - update debian/firefox.sh.in
  * Fix LP: #398121 - firefox-3.5-gnome-support failed to install/upgrade; we
    make the postinst script more failsafe
    - update debian/firefox-gnome-support.postinst
  * Add libstartup-notification0-dev to build-deps as it now seems to be
    mandatory on lpia
    - update debian/control
  * Add libasound2-dev to Build-Depends for the new HTML5 <video> tag
    - update debian/control
  * Add libiw-dev to build-depends to fix build failure
    - update debian/control
  * Add libnotify-dev to build-depends
    - update debian/control
  * adjust packaging to support localized searchplugins
    + ship default searchplugins in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-US/
      and link that directory to $(DEBIAN_FF3_DIR)/distribution/searchplugins instead
      of the main firefox APP_DIR
      - update debian/rules
    + set default searchplugin locale pref to en-US - which is used as a
      fallback if no matching searchplugins/LOCALE directory exists for the
      current locale directory
      - update debian/firefox.js
    + do not install upstream searchplugins through debhelper file and
      install "debsearch" to the new distribution/.../en-US location
      - update debian/firefox.install
    + ship "common" searchplugins link that points to the old default
      searchplugins location '/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/
      - update debian/rules
      - update debian/firefox.links
    + rework localized search engine patch to use ChromeRegistry locale
      information rather than a char pref; also change plugin dir order to allow
      locale specific searchplugins to overlay the ones shipped in
      "searchplugins/common"

    - add debian/patches/bz534663_attXXX_normalize_distribution_searchplugins.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix LP: #423610 - daily build failures after landing of mozilla-nss.pc droppage
    (bug 422829); we drop our previously used nspr pkgconfig patch and fix
    configure.in to not require in-source nspr if libxul-sdk is used
    - delete debian/patches/nspr_flags_by_pkg_config_hack.patch
    - add debian/patches/bzXXX_libxul_sdk_nspr.patch

    other architectures
    - update debian/rules
  * Install the plugin-container binary for OOPP support when building
    with --enable-ipc
    - update debian/rules
  * Fix LP: #443147 - Firefox on ARM inappropriately adds scroll bars to many
    frames and images; this is a workaround that forces -O2 for the whole
    mozilla tree build on armel; the scroll bar only manifests on lucid toolchain
    when using the upstream optimization flag mix
    - update debian/rules

    other

    - update debian/rules
  * Don't provide firefox-*-dom-inspector and firefox-*-venkman transitional
    packages. We use an internal copy of xulrunner now, which no longer provides
    these extensions
    - update debian/control
  * Create checksums for NSS libraries to make FIPS mode work
    - update debian/rules
  * Ensure that startup notification works with the bundled xulrunner - build
    with --enable-startup-notification
    - update debian/rules
  * Handle the system preferences moving location and beween packages during
    the upgrade - migrate the old settings to the new location if they have
    customisations already (and keep a backup of the new settings). Delete the
    old settings if they haven't been customised by the system administrator
    - add debian/firefox-3.0.preinst
    - update debian/firefox.postinst.in
  * If the previous customised system configuration from 3.0 is retained
    during the upgrade, ensure that new preferenes defined in the stock 3.6
    configuration are added to the existing migrated configuration
    - update debian/firefox.postinst.in
