Public bug reported: The source package contains 2 binary shared libraries that have no source code at all. There is no mention of such files in any README* file:
$ find . -name *.so -o -name *.xpi ./py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/amd64/x_ignore_nofocus.so ./py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/x86/x_ignore_nofocus.so ./py/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.xpi While the '.xpi' is just a renamed zip, it does contain several prebuilt libraries: ./platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-latest.so ./platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-previous.so ./platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-esr-previous.so ./platform/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-esr-latest.so ./platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-latest.so ./platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-previous.so ./platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-esr-previous.so ./platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-esr-latest.so ./platform/Linux_x86-gcc3/components/libwebdriver-firefox-ff3.so Besides having no source, these libs are obviously platform-dependent, so python-selenium should not be packaged as architecture=all Actually, sources *can* be found, but not in the upstream used as basis for this debian package ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium ), which is just a python-only re-packaging of the "real" upstream, which is http://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/ In that source tree, the code for the above mentioned libraries can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/cpp/linux-specific/x_ignore_nofocus.c http://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/cpp/webdriver-firefox/ ** Affects: python-selenium (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188229 Title: Source contains binary libs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-selenium/+bug/1188229/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
