Own Mozilla plugin dir(s)
Ville, it's perhaps better if the plugin package should own the
%{_libdir}/mozilla, %{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins.
But that does not help with the initial requirement, it actually would make it impossible to implement, see bug 131247. When installing a plugin package, we need a way to specify a dependency: "this package requires a web browser that loads Mozilla compatible plugins from $dir". So a foo-plugin package would have: Requires: %{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins Now, if any _plugin_ package owns that dir, the dependency is not reliable any more, because it would be satisfied by that plugin, not a browser. it's fixed in 3.3.0-2. |
It would be nice to have kdebase (~ konqueror) to own the mozilla plugin dirs. In short: %{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins is the generic location for mozilla plugins; and plugin packages could have a rpm dependency on that dir, not a specific browser. I don't want to have mozilla installed to be able to use plugins with konqueror... For more discussion, see bug 131247. Will attach a suggested patch.
