Source: firefox-esr Severity: wishlist For python3-selenium and other browser automation tools, it would be useful for Debian to have the Firefox geckodriver.
There is already a bug requesting it be added to src:firefox, but it would also be good to have it in Debian bookworm in src:firefox-esr. https://bugs.debian.org/874207 The end of firefox-esr testing/geckodriver/README.md states: geckodriver is built in the Firefox CI by default but not if you build Firefox locally. To enable building of geckodriver locally, ensure you put this in your mozconfig: ac_add_options --enable-geckodriver The geckodriver binary will appear in ${objdir}/dist/bin/geckodriver alongside firefox-bin. Ubuntu have a firefox-geckodriver package built from their firefox source package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search?text=firefox-geckodriver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831204 Here are the relevant parts of the Ubuntu debian/ directory: debian/control.in:Package: @MOZ_PKG_NAME@-geckodriver debian/control.in-Architecture: any debian/control.in-Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, debian/control.in- ${misc:Depends}, debian/control.in- @MOZ_PKG_NAME@ (= ${binary:Version}) debian/control.in:Description: Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla - geckodriver debian/control.in- Firefox delivers safe, easy web browsing.
