Hi All,
As you probably know, Mozilla currently is installed manually in BUILD file. Arwed v. Merkatz found out that issuing `make install' takes care of installation. Another reason to use `make install' is that at least one plug-in (mozilla-bonobo) is using a script `mozilla-config' to install itself correctly, and this only works right if Mozilla installed properly. Downside of making Mozilla spell use `make install' is that it installs everything into /usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION (it would be /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4b today), including the plugins directory, making it difficult to migrate from one version to Mozilla to another.
What I suggest is that we set up a dedicated Mozilla/Netscape plugin directory, something like /usr/lib/nsplugin or /usr/lib/mozilla-plugin, and link /usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION/plugins to it on every BUILD. Between `make install' and linking we must copy any plugins installed by new Mozilla into this dedicated directory:
make install &&
cp -f /usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION/plugins//usr/lib/nsplugin/ &&
rm -fr /usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION/plugins &&
ln -fns /usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION/plugins /usr/lib/nsplugin
Mozilla plugin directory may be a Sorcery parameter in /etc/config. Opinions?
Sergey.
I was looking at the bug, and was wondering why not just have the follow the suggested symlink of /usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION /usr/lib/mozilla? Was there a reason for that?
