Guess I'm in on the libmozjs problem now Maybe I'll stick with MATE for a little longer, Cinnamon is getting way too spicy.

I think that's just the ordinary "we see a cinnamon package in the linuxmint repos, so how about removing the one you have installed?" Not caused by the upgrade, in other words.

The usual suspects are now up to date in wheezy, so the build instructions ought to work for everybody.

Famous last words, right?

To upgrade from a previous build of cinnamon, you only need to reinstall the cinnamon .deb.

Glad you're back in business ZZ.

[zerozero]

it's glad to be back (well, with an updated v., last couple days i had to use the "fallback" 20110126 build)

and this cinnamon-muffin is shaping really nice: new commits almost every day

[zerozero]

mockturtl, maybe this

Oh, crap -- I didn't notice the timestamps the first time. That was just yesterday! The v9 libmozjs that I see a compile warning for just came in... that explains everything, I think.

Enter Iceweasel 9.

In parallel, and with incredible bad timing, Iceweasel 9.0 was uploaded to Debian the very same day it was released by Mozilla. Again, it greeted us with a nasty surprise: yet another mozjs API change, which made gjs FTBFS, which meant our kFreeBSD fixes would be unusable until someone who knew Gjs’ internals well enough bit the bullet and worked around the new API changes. Again, Michael Biebl tried to be our saviour, but unfortunately wasn’t able to fix all the problems, so we tried to focus on plan B.

Mozilla had released a fork of the mozjs that is included in Firefox, so that embedders would have a bit less of a hard time with these recurrent API changes. This was based on Firefox 4, and was already being packaged by Ubuntu. Gjs would build using this older version just fine, so we just needed to get it in Debian as soon as possible. We just needed to find a sucke^Wvolunteer that would be inclined to maintain the beast. Only after a few weeks we managed to get Chris Coulson, the Ubuntu packager, to maintain the package directly through the Debian archive via package syncs. However, his package had only been auto-compiled in the three Ubuntu architectures, that is amd64, armel and i386. It’s late January 2012, and we’ve been fighting this war for 10 months.

After getting some help from Michael to get the new package in shape for Debian standards, we were excited to sponsor it for Chris. Duh, after a few days in the NEW fridge, it was rejected by the ftp-masters. The license statement was missing quite a few details, so I went ahead and sacrificed a few hours of my copious free time to get this sorted out. A few days later, mozjs was accepted, but the result was horrible. It was very red. mozjs didn’t build on half of our targets.

Mike Hommey was quick to file a bug and point us to the most obvious rainbows. As he had dealt with this in the past as the Iceweasel maintainer, all of these issues were fixed and patches were ready to be applied verbatim or with minimal changes to our sources. With mozjs finally built successfully (although with severe problems on ia64), we were finally able to rebuild Gjs against it, upload GNOME Shell with our kFreeBSD fixes and wait until today for this mess to be over. Whew.

EDIT:
Disregard. I confused MUTTER for MUFFIN.

hi Gene
why can't you apt-get them? 1 and 2

Hi zz
I reverted back to my 'clean' installation of LMDE-SID (B4 attempting to compile and install muffin/cinnamon). As expected the debian fontconfig, and libcairo packages broke my fonts (only in Chrome this time, though)? So I am back to a 'stock' LMDE_SID (if that is possible)
I am in no rush. Looks like Cinnamon will come to LMDE through the debian repos. I had some fun (and some heartache ) trying to compile and chase depends.
Must have added 80-90 packages that may not be necessary, things were becoming too much of a mess.

[GeneC]

Mutter- muffin??

NEVERMIND!
I just had a senior moment. Too much for this old brain. I confused mutter for muffin.
Please disregard previous couple of posts.

[dcihon]

Gene,
I went the same route with all that Cinnamon - Muffin craziness. I have chose to wait it out also unless someone comes up with an easier full proof way to get it to work.
All this Cinnamon - Muffin talk is making me hungry. Think I'll go to lunch.

[GeneC]

'Lunch"
Now your talking.
Got to remember to take my pill tomorrow.

So, Joss outlined what a sane approach to this monster transition could look like. The amount of work to do was what we call “fun” on #debian-gnome.

Oh, those ones are the worst.

(clicking through)

Source: mozjs
Version: 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-3
Severity: important

While mozjs compiles successfully on ia64, the resulting binary
js/src/shell/js segfaults when it is executed.

Mike Hommey mentioned on IRC:
ahhhh for ia64, you're mostly screwed :-/

I saw viking777 mention the kFreeBSD snafu here

No sweat. I asked somebody in the mintcast IRC if you needed an FCC license to listen on ham radio bands

With Gnome 3.2 entering testing today, I'd bet that the team will be working on UP4 for LMDE soon, if not already.
Gnome 3.2, shell, MGSE, Mate, and Cinnamon hitting the folks tracking latest and latest-incoming all at one.
Man, the forums are going to be busy then.

Is your Cinnamon still up and running?

I am now seeing Cinnamon in the Mint-Debian repo. Albeit a broken package with a handful of missing dependencies, but it's nice to see it in the repo, hopefully it will be installable soon.
