As part of preparing xulrunner 1.9.2 (which would lead to Iceweasel 3.6), I have gone through all the patches currently applied to the latest xulrunner release, to keep track of what should be upstreamed, what needed feedback, what patches I needed to update in upstream bugzilla, etc.<\/p>\n
As I have talked about our differences with upstream on a few occasions already, and as I was doing this grunt work anyway, I thought it would be nice to make the results public.<\/p>\n
First, a few reference numbers (excluding changes to generated A few observations on the above data:<\/p>\n The latter used to be true, but is not anymore: xulrunner 1.9.1.6-2 added a lot of changes and is now up to: 98 files changed, 1107 insertions(+), 517 deletions(-).<\/p>\n What happened ? will you ask me. A lot happened: the test suite, attempts at correctly installing C++ headers and IDL files, bug fixes. Work has also been done such that Differences between 1.9.1.6-1 and 1.9.1.6-2 look like this: 31 files changed, 341 insertions(+), 167 deletions(-).<\/p>\n Some were stolen from bugzilla (13 files changed, 162 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-)):<\/p>\n Many others were sent:<\/p>\n A few others were filed without a patch, as I felt a proper upstreamable patch needed discussion (3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)):<\/p>\n A few changes are related to the way we build and how we run the test suite (5 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-)):<\/p>\n Finally, a few were related to the Debian changes history (2 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-)):<\/p>\n Going through the rest of the changes between upstream and the latest Debian release, we can split in 5 categories of changes: Those that were picked from bugzilla or sent there, but are not applied upstream for various reasons (29 files changed, 138 insertions(+), 209 deletions(-)):<\/p>\n Those that were reported but for which I wanted feedback for a proper fix, yet a patch was applied in Debian because this was necessary (6 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-)):<\/p>\n Those that are yet to be sent to bugzilla (15 files changed, 111 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)):<\/p>\nconfigure<\/code> files):<\/p>\n\n
