I do have a Geoclue2 geolocation provider for gecko-dev right now and have been using it in Firefox for a few weeks now.
This provider is purely (G)D-Bus based, so it doesn't need any additional external library as a dependency. I envision it as a system-wide geolocation source, much like the ones that Firefox already uses on Windows, Mac OS or Android platforms. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that I will be able to find enough time to go through a formal review process with this patch before this year winter holiday break. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to geoclue-providers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100326 Title: Location requested by websites should be able to use GPS/mobile positioning Status in Chromium Browser: Fix Committed Status in Mozilla Firefox: Unknown Status in GeoClue: Won't Fix Status in WebKit: Fix Released Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in geoclue-2.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in geoclue-providers package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: It would be nice if location requested by websites could use location found from GPS or GSM/CDMA positioning.
