While I'm very happy about all MLS developments, rely on it a lot in geoclue and help with collection of data as much as I can, I'm not exactly happy with this development in particular. IMHO this will undermine my efforts to push for geoclue to be *the* geolocation framework every app should be using on Linux desktop (especially Fedora, since I work for RH). It will make it harder for me to convince about the importance of firefox needing to use geoclue and therefore getting any contributor to make that happen [1]. This is also not so good for firefox actually since it can't use modems and thus you are limited to geoip and wifi-geolocation only. Just my two cents. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) ________________________________________ Befriend GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/friends/ [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485472 _______________________________________________ dev-geolocation mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-geolocation
