+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #254236 +++ Description of problem: This would greatly help the labeling of homedirectories at creation and allow us to do some cool stuff with SELinux. -- Additional comment from dwalsh on 2007-08-24 17:43 EST -- Also can we change the default for downloads to Download, which now exists in Gnome? -- Additional comment from caillon on 2007-08-26 17:46 EST -- need to first test to make sure that having a blank .mozilla directory won't hurt anything. -- Additional comment from mcepl on 2007-12-20 11:46 EST -- We just updated the Firefox version in Fedora/development from 2.0 to a 3.0 pre-release version, which improves performance, memory usage, and fixes many bugs and crashes. Closing as CANTFIX since we aren't fixing bugs filed against 2.0 now that 3.0 is in. If this bug is still present in rawhide using a Firefox 3.0 version, please re-open this bug. Thanks and Happy Holidays -- Additional comment from dwalsh on 2007-12-31 11:44 EST -- Could you do this for the rawhide version. -- Additional comment from caillon on 2007-12-31 12:19 EST -- (In reply to comment #2) > need to first test to make sure that having a blank .mozilla directory won't > hurt anything. Firefox 3 is able to create a profile with a blank dir... seems doable. Are equivalent bugs filed against both seamonkey and thunderbird as well? -- Additional comment from caillon on 2007-12-31 13:00 EST -- Fixed in firefox-3.0-0.beta2.4.fc9 ---- Per comment 3 filing for seamonkey
I have this change in my tree. I will build as soon as I see an answer to my question in bug 254236 comment 7 Let me set NEEDINFO from caillon so I won't overlook his answer.
It doesn't matter. In processing %files, if rpm encounters a file which is a directory, it treats it as the equivalent of: %dir foo foo/*
This is probably silly, but shouldn't we prefer more metadata over the less? Will rpmbuild cry loudly, if (for some unknown reason) /etc/skel/.mozilla is file, not dir?
If it is a normal file, then someone has been messing with /etc/skel and I don't care. I intentionally want the %files list to include /etc/skel/.mozilla and everything underneath it. Right now there isn't anything else, but I do intend on adding more items later when I get a few things sorted out with upstream.
Actually, Kai... do you know whether seamonkey is going to build against XULRunner in time for FC9? If so, and if seamonkey still uses .mozilla, then you may wish to wait. I might simply add this as part of XULRunner.
The next seamonkey (1.5) will use profiles in directory /home/user/.mozilla/seamonkey/ (in the past they were directly below .mozilla) I do not know whether seamonkey will build against xulrunner in time. I propose I make the change requested in this bug now, as it's simple and I have it in my tree already, only requires a rebuild.
Fixed in seamonkey-1.1.7-4.fc9
