Firefox KDE support

[Teunis]

Just follow my recipe above using the Force and Lock option in Muon.
This morning I noticed the blue-shell update, unlocked Firefox and Firefox-locale, forced the new version and updated.
Then I locked them again.

[geoaraujo]

That seems to be right. I'm running firefox blue-shell package again.
However, it would be nice if we could just automatically avoid those undesired updates....

[Mr_Bumpy]

I think moray33 is right. I didn't touch my pin setup, but when the Firefox package "disappeared" from the blue-shell PPA because it was still building, I was offered the upgrade to the Ubuntu Firefox package. When the blue-shell Firefox package was done building, then I was automatically upgraded again to the blue-shell version. So the pin works: as long as there is a firefox package in the blue-shell PPA, it will be given priority over other versions.

[moray33]

It worked for me in previous versions but not this time, I don't know what's the difference. Maybe it's because Firefox in the PPA was pending to be built and there wasn't that package there... A minutes ago, I updated and now I have the Firefox-KDE and the pin seems working fine again:

moray33@Jose:~$ sudo apt-cache policy firefox

This is what I have said all along, the method I posted for pinning the blue shell ppa does not work. I to was upgraded to the GTK firefox, but I changed the pin priority to 1001 and did an update and upgrade and got firefox-kde back.

Same problem here Moray33..updated this morning and lost my KDE intergration. Interesting since the Blue-shell FF 16.0.2 was updated only 2 days ago But now the main repos are in action again. I thought pinning to 1000 would avoid this problem.

So I pinned Blue-shell to 1001 and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. This took be back to the Blue-Shell version. Ran updates again and no main repo update for Firefox came up.

I've lost Firefox KDE integration.

Me too. I have the blue-shell ppa enabled and pinned, why this happened? I don't get it.

I get this:

Although Synaptic is a very complete package manager for this particular issue I prefer to use the KDE package manager Muon.
It has a simple dialogue to force a particular version (the Firefox ppa one) and then you can lock Firefox and the locale to it.
Of course you need to keep an eye out for when the next version becomes available on bleu-shell but it will not update with a non- blue-shell version until you tell it to.

[SteveRiley]

According to https://launchpad.net/~blue-shell/+a...uild_state=all, the packages are currently being built. Depending on how busy Launchpad is, this could take some time. Please check back later.

[Mr_Bumpy]

The blue-shell PPA shows Firefox as "currently building". Synaptic can't see the blue-shell PPA version of Firefox on my system (64-bit Precise). It currently only shows firefox-kde-support and kmozillahelper as the only two packages currently available from the blue-shell PPA. I'm guessing the package will be available soon-ish and then an apt-get upgrade should grab it.

[geoaraujo]

Yes. It is enabled and it's pinned to 1000.

[Wallace]

Is the the blue-shell ppa enabled? And have you pinned it to 1000?

Actually there was an update today to 16.0.2 from the Blue-shell repos. Run apt-cache policy firefox and you will know whose repos it is from.

[geoaraujo]

What? Even having pinned the blue-shell ppa, Firefox was updated to Ubuntu version 16.0.2!
I've changed pin priority to 1001 to downgrade it but it didn't work.
Help?
