I've looked at building this in the past and found it to be in the too hard
basket because it builds against its own copy of xulrunner and gstreamer.
Having gone through most of the patches that they apply to the xulrunner code
base quite a few of them have upstream bugs and most of the patches that apply
to the linux build are fairly trivial bug fixes but the SongBird devs aren't
pushing them for upstream. They all easily will apply and build against the
Fedora XULrunner and don't affect firefox and other apps but Fedora would more
than likely want them upstream first. The other issue is that most of the build
scripts are hardcoded for the locally included copies of the source code and
don't use auto* for locating include files etc so as to be able to build
against the OS versions. They have said they'll happily accept patches but
haven't the time or expertise to do it themselves.
