reassign 404611 mozilla-imagezoom
thanks
Thanks Jan
(Now I CC to icedove maintainer)
I am adjusting imagezoom: actually I didn't have to make those
per-application preferences links anyways for iceweasel and icedove -
they are doing fine with per-extension preferences... iceape/mozilla
though needs them installed in application preferences directory.
That upload will close the bug, but also I want to ask few questions:
* Is there a plan to have similar move of arch indep files under share
and symlinking for *icedove*? (which is an apple from the same
tree as iceweasel, so they better be consistent, and since even iceape
did similar move already)
* I can't find in iceweasel/changelog.Debian.gz when transition to
share from lib has happened. Thus I can't estimate when it happened.
Since it has happened recently, I guess, I would say IMHO it
wasn't a good decision to make standing in the doorway of the fresh
release
* Are there plans to have proper "hardcoded" shift into using
/usr/share/ for arch-indep parts, ie would iceweasel code be modified
and links removed some time?
* components/ directory has mixed set (arch indep and arch dep) files --
will it be ever split into 2
* It would be great if someone organize a page on wiki.debian
summarizing how ice* products are organized within file hierarchy.
That would help other maintainers (mostly maintainers of
extensions I guess) to provide proper placing of their files
