I've been away from development for a bit, so I'll chime in here. WRT 198453, the only piece holding back Kubuntu and Xubuntu is a missing merge for the pulse pcm+ctl alsa-plugins source that falls back to ALSA if an environment variable internal to PulseAudio isn't set. I'll take some time to put this in an alsa-plugins bzr branch for testing. Several people in #ubuntu-mozillateam/Freenode have noticed issues in my bzr branch of alsa-lib. The aforementioned issue goes away with said merge. WRT 258581, the changes are fine to go into the alsa-utils source package but also need to be (in light of the above fix) in the alsa-lib source package. WRT 246911, the ia32-libs source package needs to generate an additional binary package that ships the dependencies for the new Flash 10 RC. Care is needed so that Kubuntu users don't get clobbered. WRT 192888, some time ago I mentioned to Oliver, Luke, and Alexander on IRC that libflashsupport needs to go away in 8.10. Fixes mentioned in the preceding two paragraphs are necessary. WRT 257043, the workaround may be acceptable in the interim, but coordination is necessary in #ubuntu-mozillateam to ensure that it's not in place unless absolutely necessary. The packaging itself would need to be fixed: one cannot assume that /etc/adobe can be blown away blindly in prerm, and the addition to what should be a conffile should not occur in postinst. -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
