[Nix-dev] Re: [Nix-commits] SVN commit: nix - r28625 - in nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs: applications/networking/browsers/firefox top-level

[shea at shealevy.com]

Turns out this is a known bug that's fixed in trunk
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661609 . I was wrong about
5.0 building fine, it only worked properly because I had built 5.0 before
upgrading to linux 3.x, but trying to rebuild 5.0 now causes the same
problem.

This is a frustrating impurity in the firefox build system. I can't think
of any reason for firefox to depend on the kernel version, and I sincerely
doubt that any other distro supplies different firefox binaries for
different kernel versions, so wouldn't any kernel version-dependent
compilations just increase the risk of breakage? I suppose I'll have to
check with the firefox build team for the answer to that :)
