Subject: Please remove the non-free files and upload to main

Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 06:53:20 +0800

Package: python-selenium
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

It is my understanding that Selenium is non-free because of the .xpi files
which upstream embbeds (and the .xpi contains pre-built .dll for windows
and .so files for Linux). However, Selenium is still useful without these
files. For example, Selenium could be used using the PhantomJS plugin. In
Fedora, that's what they did: they ship Selenium in whatever matches the
"main" repository of Debian, without the .xpi file.

So, could you please upload python-selenium 2.2.0+dfsg1 to main, without
the non-free files, to Debian main? The .xpi files could be shipped
standalone in the non-free repositories if you still want them.

Note that I would really appreciate if you could upload this in Experimental
during the freeze, if the release team refuses to have the change, though it
IMO would make sense to at least try to ask the release team if the change
could go in Jessie.

Last, if you need help, I'd be happy give some. (like if you don't have
upload rights and need sponsoring of the upload, I'm not sure if that is the
case here...)

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Hi Thomas, the patch is attached for you to have a look, in this case
the binaries are simply removed, I didn't manage to find a way to
compile from source. You didn't put the reference for sending it you
mentioned in your email, were you referring to [1]?Â

Thanks,

    Hi Federico,

    Before attempting to do an NMU, you should first send a bug report
    to Debian, and attach the patch you're proposing. Only if the
    current maintainer doesn't reply, then you can attempt to NMU. The
    thing is, it would need to be a repacked version of Selenium (ie:
    the xpi removed from the orig file), and maybe we would need to ship
    the non-free xpi files as a separate package in non-free.

    Could you send your patch to [1] ?

    Does your patch build the xpi now? How does it work? If it's what it
    does, then great. If not, then it's nice still.

    Thomas

Just for the record this patch removes all the binaries, inclluding the .so
files and adds support for Python3.

Thanks,

Hi,

sry for the delay. I missed the python-selenium mails sorry for that.
Normally i would not prefer an updated of the python-selenium stuff. It
would be better to do a package of the whole selenium stuff but i will
take a look to update it during the debconf.

Regards
Sascha

Hi,

it is not enough to remove the xpi only from the code to fulfill the
requirements for main. We have also to remove the xpi from the source
before we do the import.

After the patch you can't use it without any updates and the main
functionality will not work.

If you try the example from the homepage[1]:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://seleniumhq.org/')

You got the error below:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.xpi'

I think that is not the expected functionality of the python-selenium
package for someone who installed this package. It's possible to install
the chromedriver and use the python-selenium stuff with chromium. Imho
it will be the best to split the package into a 'free' and a 'non-free'
package and do it in a same way like the chromedriver. We don't should
remove the xpi without providing a alternative package because there are
several users who will use it with firefox.

I will do the updates and try to package the xpi.

Hi,

a snapshot version with several patches could be found in the vcs on the
wip branch. I will build it and update it after the xpi package is created.
