[sugar] xulrunner rpms - or working off the upstream track

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

I am trying to get a xulrunner rpm out with the latest improvements for beta5. 
Since we are still based on F7 this is not an easy task.

I tried to use the latest 1.0-0.61 and build it for F7 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=48498. In 1.0-0.60 a new 
dependency mozilla-filesystem has been introduced which has only been built for F9 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=47659. So we have to either 
built it ourselves for F7 or I do base my work on 0.59.

Since the track is moving F7 does not have the latest versions of some packages 
(nspr, nss, sqlite, cairo...) so I have to adjust the mozconfig to not use the 
system ones.

We use pyxpcom which is not enabled by default and sure we have some patches (e.g. 
permissions for use with rainbow) I have to modify whenever the sources change (but 
these two are not a problem of deps).

This should be just an overview of the costs involved. Other ideas on how to solve 
the deps issues are welcome.

Thanks,
    Simon
