[new-upstream] Firefox 3.0 RC1 is available

[Alexander Sack]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox 3.0 RC1 is available upstream. Ubuntu Intrepid and Hardy need to be updated.

This update involves several upstream version updates:
 + firefox-3.0 (essential)
 + xulrunner-1.9 (essential)
 + midbrowser (essential)
 + nspr (important)
 + nss (important)

Translations need to be updated. As agreed at UDS the translations should be moved to from language-pack-gnome*-XX to language-support*-XX packages.
 + language-support*-XX (essential)

Embedders known to require a respin:
 + epiphany-browser

Extensions that ned to be updated:
 + (needs testing)

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

even though the translations could technically just be added to the language-support*-XX packages, we should consider to remove them from the gnome langpacks in order to not add additional data to CDs.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

further, midbrowser translations should be added to language-pack-gnome*-XX packages.

xulrunner 1.9 FTBFS in intrepid because of new hunspell upstream version.

The upstream bug for hunspell 1.2 support is http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429747

the patch is overkill for us as its for in-source hunspell support. most likely we only need the spellcheck/src/Makefile.in part of the patch in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=317495

The build system makes it difficult to fix. Separating the XPCOM glue from hunspell is the easiest way, despite the size of the patch.
Fixed in https://code.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/xulrunner/xulrunner-1.9.head #265 (tested on both hardy and intrepid)

devhelp_0.19-1ubuntu3 fails to build.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I accepted the lot to hardy-proposed. It will take a while until everything is built and published.

Please test and give plenty of feedback here. Thanks!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

New language packs uploaded which should work with the new Firefox.

[Miklos Juhasz (mjuhasz)]

The update is working fine for me. Language pack came along with Firefox so it remained translated. Plugins (flash, adobe pdf, vlc, Sun java) are working. YouTube videos detto. It works as it should, no crash, no freeze, no slowdown.
[Kubuntu 8.04, KDE 3.5.9]

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I have used the new packages for half a day, and most things work fine so far (including translations). However, flash stopped working for me, it eternally tries to load the movie without ever starting it. Does this happen to other people as well? (I'm using the proprietary plugin)

[Gert Kulyk (gkulyk)]

For me everything is working fine, including flash. RC 1 seems to be a bit faster than the beta, some sites that caused a crash (e.g. rys.wwf.pl) are working fine now.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the update and the flash player work correctly for me on i386 using epiphany-browser

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

I'm also using epiphany-browser with a greasemonkey extension and the update work fine with an i386 system, flash works fine also in both firefox and epiphany.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Right, it seems that just that particular youtube video link I tried was broken. Other videos on youtube, and other flash stuff works here.

OK, verifying a bunch of other (direct or indirect) rdepends. I hope I
catched all important ones.

standalone rdepends:
 yelp - works
 devhelp - works
 epiphany-browser - works
 liferea - works (i am just a basic user)
 prism - works (prism-google-mail tested)

python (standalone or mixed glue) binding:
 - miro - works

mono binding:
 - monodoc - works (basic reading use cases tested)

verified important libnss rdepends:
 - thunderbird (basic SSL/TLS use cases work)
 - pidgin-encryption (basic testing)
 - evolution (SSL/TLS testing)
 - sunbird
 - some libxul0d rdepends
   - kazehakase (SSL/TLS)
   - galeon (SSL/TLS)
   - eclipse (works, but not sure how to trigger libnss code path -
                 if possible at all)

Notes:
 + midbrowser merge pending (mostly untested, but QA is done by
 moblin)
 + mobile-basic-flash - called for testing in #ubuntu-mobile, but no
 feedback so far

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

For the record, I got about 7 replies to my "call for testing langpacks", and all were positive. Translations continue to work, in particular, the Finnish ones work perfectly with Firefox now, too.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

verification-done. We haven't received received any regression reports on these packages after the xulrunner-1.9 regression in bug 236984 was fixed.

We asked various bug reporters to test the RC1 packages during firefox-3.0 bug triage over the last week and have received no indication of regressions from them either.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

All packages copied to hardy-updates.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I copied the hardy-updates langpacks to intrepid.
