[Bug 567819] Re: Please remove xulrunner-1.9.1 source, binaries and remaining rdepends from Lucid

[W. Prins]

As someone with an interest in Pyjamas which is potentially affected by
the above removals, can someone explain to me in simple terms why it was
actually neccesary to remove anything in the first place?  From how I
read the description some things were split into seperate packages
(which is fine), but now these packages are not being included in
Lucid... why?

Secondly, if this decision cannot be reversed and/or the irritation
avoided in the short term, can a developer ppa not be set up in the
interim to support current Ubuntu users relying on xulrunner (and
friends) in prior editions of Ubuntu who upgrade to Lucid (and who will
be "stuck up crap-creek in a barbwire canoe without a paddle" with
respect to things that use xulrunner if the above remains as is?...)

sugar-hulahop depends on python-xpcom, which was removed from xulrunner in 1.9.2 and distributed separately. There's a chance that we will package that separately in maverick and reintroduce these packages, but, for the time being it has to go (along with anything that depends on it)
