#483 Mozilla Location Service (MLS) shutting down June 12
Opened a year ago by ngompa. Modified 11 months ago

The Mozilla Location Service (MLS) will be shutting down on June 12. MLS is currently used by geoclue. This will affect:

  • App location requests
  • Night color sunset>sunrise schedule

Links:

(Based on fedora-workstation#421)


Just to make a note here for future reference...

It sounds like projects are migrating toward https://beacondb.net since MLS is shutting down.

There is an open issue for migrating geoclue to beacondb however the beacondb administrator says their infrastructure is unable to handle the kind of demand that geoclue would generate. There's likely an opportunity for Fedora or RH to reach out to them and see what can be done to help improve the infrastructure for the beacondb project.

This is an issue open on beacondb's page to speak about future plans

libreloc might be one too? https://libregeolocation.org/libreloc.html

Does anyone in upstream KDE know what we're doing yet?
