Hi, I had a look at options to build nvu against Debian's Mozilla, Firefox, or Xulrunner. First, it seems nvu is only distributed mixed with Mozilla sources, in a source tree completely similar to Mozilla's. It also carries a patch to apply against a Firefox tree to obtain a tree which will permit a build of NVU. The last release is very old, and I couldn't find any public CVS repository to check for progress on this front. I'm afraid making it build against our Mozilla would be a short term plan and would be painful nevertheless, we don't have any "firefox-dev" as Ubuntu has, so Firefox ain't an option either. Xulrunner would be the nicest, and a quick googling seems to indicate this is the intented goal: build against Xulrunner.
As this project seems dead upstream, I checked uin Ubuntu whether they would have spent some effort in building against firefox-dev, but no, the package is mostly in the same state as in Debian. I do not intend to work further on this bug, I suppose it's best not to ship such software until upstream wakes up again and has a Xulrunner build mode to offer.
