When i installed java-1.5.0-sun-plugin-1.5.0.04-1jpp.i586.rpm the link
is created in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.8/plugins/ and i have to copy it
manually to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/plugins/. Why this link is not
created at the right place ?
The trigger script in the java-1.5.0-sun-plugin package that is intended
to set up this link tries to figure out where to put the link by
searching for the definition of MOZ_DIST_BIN in /usr/bin/firefox.
However, in the FC4 firefox, MOZ_DIST_BIN is specified as:
MOZ_DIST_BIN="$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox-1.0.4"
rather than
MOZ_DIST_BIN="/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4"
and the script doesn't know how to handle that. This is probably worth
bringing up with the people at jpackage.
So how to change that ? have we to modify the firefox package ? May be
it will be better to put the plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins which
seems to be used by firefox (with no version dependance) and mozilla ?
That seems reasonable to me but there may be a good reason why it's not
done by default.
I will be interested by knowing this reason.
What needs fixing is the spec file for the jpackage java package so that
if MOZ_DIST_BIN comes back as "$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox-1.0.4" then it goes
back and looks to see what MOZ_LIB_DIR is (using the same method as for
finding MOZ_DIST_BIN) and substitues that. Not terribly difficult.
How to indicate this to the jpackage maintainer ?
Try asking on the jpackage-discuss list.
