retitle 555700 ITP: songbird -- desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser forcemerge 412437 507218 555700 thanks
Hi, Thanks for this RFP. There are currently two existing ITP bugs for Songbird. Currently packaging Songbird is blocked by the large(ish) number of custom patches [0] for xulrunner it depends upon. A number of these we can work around or don't relate to any Debian architectures, but that's not true of all of them. I'm not happy with the idea of shipping a 2nd, patched version of xulrunner in Debian from the security perspective alone and whilst I would very much like to see Songbird in Debian I don't think pushing these patches into the Debian version of xulrunner is appropriate either. Unfortunately at the moment it seems like the best course of action is waiting on the upstream authors to reduce this list. I am fairly regularly monitoring this situation though, and if something changes I do intend to produce a package.
