I think a fundamental thing here is that there's a large world between: [API changes all the time] -- ... -- [ stable API/ABI ]
In particular, in the middle area, there are small things that the SpiderMonkey consuming community would greatly benefit from that don't restrict SpiderMonkey really. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618381 for an example. Another one is build support code for an independent-of-firefox SpiderMonkey release could be upstream, and it could have an independent version. So, let me lay out some tasks: * Land some version of 618318 so that embedders can adapt more easily when API changes * Move xulrunner/installer/mozilla-js.pc.in into js/src/ * Add a version to the libmozjs.so * Remove the Firefox configure flag --enable-shared-js * Add a "make dist" target that generates spidermonkey-X.tar.gz to js/src/Makefile.in -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286906 Title: provide and support a top-level library package for libmozjs (Was: Unable to use libmozjs.so in an application, because of library path problem.) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
