Description Kevin DeKorte 2008-03-11 13:31:42 UTC
Description of problem:
Every time a new version of nspluginwrapper comes out it erases the changes I
have made to /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper. Please stop it from doing that

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install nspluginwrapper
2. Make changes to /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper
3. Upgrade nspluginwrapper
4. Changes are gone and not even an .rpmold file is around


  
Actual results:
Config file is reset

Expected results:
Config file should be left as is.

Additional info:

I have to make changes to this file, cause the wrapper does the wrong thing to a
lot of plugins. 32bit plugins should not be wrapped on a 32bit platform and
64bit plugins should not be wrapped on 64 bit machines. The wrapping breaks
javascript functionality and in some cases causes plugins not to work.

Examples: gecko-mediaplayer* and mplayerplug-in*

Or just add those to the don't wrap rule.

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2008-03-11 13:49:00 UTC
added to nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-26.fc9

Comment 2 Bill Adams 2008-04-02 18:16:08 UTC
As a side note, nspluginwrapper conflicts with flash + gecko-mediaplayer. That
is to say that by default, nspluginwrapper should probably exclude
libflashplayer.*,  gecko-mediaplayer* (no dot), nppdf.* (Adobe Reader), and
npica.* (Citrix ICA Client). The problem started with Firefox 2.0.0.13. When the
wrapper is installed, the plugins silently fail to work.

Uninstalling nspluginwrapper fixes all of these issues.
