http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59421 Upstream report Upstream doesn't seem to happy about this request. Perhaps a standard symlink
to /usr/lib/mozilla-%{version}/plugins should be added to Rawhide Mozilla
package? Then other people who re-package Mozilla for Red Hat can adopt that
symlink standard, and Konqueror wont need to manually follow the mozilla
directory for each version.
(CC Blizzard to ask about the possible symlink in Mozilla RPM solution that upstream KDE suggests. I agree this would be the cleanest way to solve this problem, however I've seen some browser plugins in the past crash when used from a symlinked directory in this fashion...) mozilla should have a standard symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla-%{version}/plugins.
Just use /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for all plugins instead of using the one in a specific version. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030530 Description of problem: Each RH release Konqueror has a hard coded /usr/lib/mozilla-%{version}/plugins directory. While the user can always manually edit the directory from the Konqueror preferences menu, it is rather inconvenient that Konqueror would lose its ability to use Mozilla's plugins whenever mozilla is upgraded. Users may upgrade mozilla themselves between releases, and also the Konqueror pref would remain between distro upgrades leaving their user profile "broken" for browser plugins even if the KDE is again patched to use the new default mozilla directory. Perhaps the only "clean" solution would be to modify Konq to scan /usr/mozilla-*/plugins/ directories for browser plugins? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1.2-3
