Hi!

What is the status of this package ?
Is this the last package version !

Just one note for now:
* Why is it using zlib-static ?
zlib doesn't change that much nor produce a circle dependency. So the needs of
static linking doens't make sense IMO.
* The source rpm is definitely enormous it would seems easier to repack the
%{tarname}%{version}-860-vendor.tar.bz2 with cherry picking only what is needed
to be built internally for the given Fedora version(xulrunner/taglib/other?).
This can be made using a script that will have to be provided within the source
package. (as source100: for example).
*BTW you need to use Source0: instead of Source:


But having a script to repack the source dependencies isn't that a real
solution.
The best way would be to have a script provided from the Songbird upstream(hi
Stephen) To download a given (vanilla) version of a Songbird dependency, with
only the related patch needed by Songbird (if there is). And That for each
Songbird dependency. (following the VideoLan example, with vlc)

This will allow for the packager (and the other packagers, that will check the
Songbird Packager commits during the whole live for the package), to control
which will be the difference between the system package and eventually, to
override the use of an internal dependency if the Songbird patch is for another
platform or already merged in the new system version...


For now, I think we will need to use xulrunner internally, but what the current
status of the (system) xulrunner 3.1 usability with SongBird ? (xulrunner 3.1
is already present in Rawhide/F-11).

We could also ask the feodra taglib package maintainer if he will allow to 
backport the needed patch for F-11 (unless it breaks the taglib ABI).



/me is still rpmbuilding Songbird for F-10 x86_64
