Hi, I have some probable good news. Some testing seems to show that while ABI incompatible (stuff built with xulrunner 1.9 don't work quite well with xulrunner 1.9.1), xulrunner 1.9.1 is mostly API compatible and reverse build dependencies seem to be okay with only a few changes (runtime dependency and GRE version range setting for the xulrunner stub).
Now, I'd like to know if there is some other ongoing transition that may be disturbed by a possible xulrunner transition, and if the following plan suits you: - Send NMU patches to the BTS for the impacted packages, and have maintainers upload a new release of their package. They would be made to build depend on xulrunner-dev 1.9.1, so that they would only be dep-waiting in the buildd queue. - NMU the (hopefully few) packages remaining unpatched by 27/09. - Upload xulrunner 1.9.1 to unstable on 27/09. Note that by 27/09, most gnome programs currently depending on xulrunner (epiphany, yelp, etc.) should have been made xulrunner free, by the means of the new gnome release[1], so, possibly, they would be out of the transition.
