#34 xulrunner is bundling libsqlite
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by hicham.

xulrunner in Fedora 13 and up bundles sqlite due to mozilla forcing sqlite to be built with SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE. gecko-maint have chosen to use the bundled one as a temporary solution, but lasting for several releases doesn't make it temporary.

We have three options :
- ask mozilla to reconsider in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546162
- issue an exception
- build sqlite in fedora with SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE.


Please answer the questions given here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Standard_questions

and then set meeting ticket. Until then, xulrunner does not have permission to bundle and must stop provided that it can/a patch exists/etc.

FWIW, sqlite has had this enabled in rawhide since September, so there is no reason that xulrunner cannot use the system copy.

  • Tue Sep 2 2010 Tom "spot" Callaway tcallawa@redhat.com - 3.7.0.1-2
  • enable SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE, SQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY for firefox 4

I've also had it enabled in my f13 and f14 builds of xulrunner2, and there have been no issues linked to it.

here is the situation :

  • In F-13 and F-14 xulrunner cannot use the system copy of sqlite since the required minimum version isn't satisfied ( >= 3.7.1 )

  • In rawhide gecko-maint said ( per a conversation on IRC ) that they don't care since the final sqlite version that will be used in released xulrunner2 isn't known yet

Xulrunner (gecko-maint) must enable system sqlite in rawhide, and if bundling becomes necessary, to request permission with FPC in the future.

Voting (+1: 6, 0:0, -1: 1)

In addition, if an appropriate version of sqlite becomes available as an update for release branches, they must also use it in any future xulrunner updates to those release branches.

Voting (+1: 6, 0: 1, -1: 0)

xulrunner-2.0-0.14b8.fc15 uses system sqlite.
