Yeah, that makes sense. > Zeeshan: what became of the Geoclue patch in bug 485472? dougt r-'d the > proposed patch (in 2009), but AFAICT only for minor issues that can be > corrected, not for any fundamental disagreement about using Geoclue. Any patches on that bug are obsolete for an year now since geoclue2 is a different beast than geoclue1. Not only geoclue1 is totally unmaintained for years, we ripped the whole repository (since geoclue2 was a complete re-write) so it doesn't make any sense now to use geoclue1. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) ________________________________________ Befriend GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/friends/ _______________________________________________ dev-geolocation mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-geolocation
