xpcshell missing

[c7d2f5c8667d26fffd5e7772d632c76d]

Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9

The xulrunner 1.9 packages don't contain the xpcshell binary.

[Fabien Tassin (fta)]

It's not a packaging bug as xpcshell is explicitly excluded:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xulrunner/installer/Makefile.in#47

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289494#c2 for the reason.

With a proper user case, we can go upstream and file a bug. The fix is easy.

[c7d2f5c8667d26fffd5e7772d632c76d (c7d2f5c8667d26fffd5e7772d632c76d-deactivatedaccount)]

Well the/my use case _is_ xpcshell itself. It's a handy testing tool.

[Fabien Tassin (fta)]

I've made a patch but it will not enter gutsy as it's too late.

if you're interested, it's built in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~fta/+archive
It's in xulrunner-1.9 - 1.9~a9~cvs20071012t0843-0ubuntu1~mt1~fta4 (you also need the nss from that PPA).
It ships xpcshell as /usr/bin/xpcshell-1.9

  * unify test for dev-package in var DEV_PACKAGE_INDICATION and determine
    whether to point libnssckbi.so to system nss using this test.
  * drop versions from build-depends and depends on libnspr4-dev, libnss3-dev.
    We use this to be able to use the same sources for both official uploads
    (which uses in-xul nspr/nss) and dev/ppa uploads (which use system
    nspr/nss).
