Dear developers,
I found that the source code is the same for xulrunner-1.9 and
xulrunner-1.9.1 on gNewSense metad:
$ apt-get source xulrunner-1.9
gives the same file (xulrunner-1.9.1.4-2) as:
$ apt-get source xulrunner-1.9.1
although the binary versions are different:
$ apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9 | grep -i version
Version: 1.9.0.19-6
Version: 1.9.0.19-3
$ apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9.1 | grep -i version
Version: 1.9.1.4-2
How can this be possible?
(apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9 ; apt-cache show xulrunner-1.9.1) | egrep
"Package|Source"
will show you that the source package of both is called "xulrunner".
Apt-get's man page says that it will get "the newest available version
of that source package", thus the newest version of 1.9.1.
Beside, how do I know which version of xulrunner-1.9 is installed on my
system: 1.9.0.19-6 or 1.9.0.19-3?
Either
apt-cache policy xulrunner-1.9 xulrunner-1.9.1
or lines starting with "ii" in
dpkg -l '*xulrunner*'
