[Bug 124933] Re: [needs-packaging] flock
Marcus from Flock dev reported a few interesting points that I think bear repeating here: "'Sulfur' is not a code name, it is the the unbranded version you are looking for.. "I have expended effort in removing proprietary logos, images and text from this unbranded build, but that task is not complete. I also watch the commits to try to catch any hard-coding of the work "Flock" in new code... "Note that it is not only Flock IP that may turn up, it is also Mozilla IP. Both need to be taken care of. "While not related to branding, there is a second point worth mentioning: Ubuntu would like to package Flock as XULRunner application, to avoid repetitive inclusion of common code. Flock uses a modified XULRunner code base, which makes circumventing that redundancy non- trivial. "Personally, I have always wanted to see a proper Ubuntu package for Flock; it's just not that easy. I'm available and willing to help, but my primary obligation is of course to do the things that Flock, the company, wants to see move forward." So it looks like what we need is: 1) An answer from MOTU on how they feel about divorcing flock-browser (let's be clear on referencing the package name henceforth "flock" is of course out of the question! ;) ) from XULRunner so that the customized XULRunner can coexist with the default library other XULRunner apps are using 2) Contributions to the Flock team by interested parties wanting to help root the IP out of the "Sulfur" (i.e., non-branded) build 3) ??? 4) Profit! I'm guessing from what's been said here that MOTU will want to refer this upstream, though I don't know how much interest there is at that level. I'm interested, but am way behind on the packaging side of things, and have a number of items on my plate as it is, so if anyone out there is up for stepping up to this, that'd be swell. -- [needs-packaging] flock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So we package "sulphur" now, we have to dump that package when flock codename changes to "phospor" or something. What upstreams should provide is a decent static free branding that will be maintained over major versions. - Alexander -- [needs-packaging] flock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I used to maintain a packaging branch for flock 2 and to provide preview debs in my PPA but I stopped as there are legal issues not acceptable for Ubuntu, issues that have apparently no chance to be solved. I just linked the branch to this bug as a reference but I don't intend to work on it again, unless of course the situation evolves.

Hi schnollk, ubuntu-desktop does not deal with packaging requests. Only a MOTU would be really able to answer, but I would guess it has not been worked on because it has not, yet, been accepted on Debian. ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop (ubuntu-desktop) => (unassigned) ** Tags added: auto-search -- [needs-packaging] flock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

one year without any "official" comment on why flock hasn't been added to offic. repos. yet nor why it shouldn't. To be honest I'm disappointed. There are even people offering packaging help if mentored! Can anyone with Ubuntu inside knowledge comment on this, please? I'd like to know if there has been discussion and if so what Ubuntu users ought to expect in the near future about how and when/why not flock will be seen in Ubuntu's official repos.
