Since we're deliberately changing the name, maybe libspidermonkey is a better name? I agree that putting 185 in the name isn't good. When we change to 1.9.0, would we have to change the SO name? That can't be right. > Versioning the spidermonkey library based on the JavaScript version it > implements (1.8.5) doesn't make much sense to me; I prefer to think of this as > version 1.0.0 of the library which implements JavaScript 1.8.5.

I believe that the 1.8.5 numbering scheme is a pretty bad one, and is only there because of history. Perhaps we should change it; maybe to the Firefox version number or the Gecko one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740815 Title: [FFe] Updates to enable us to drop xulrunner from main -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
