[Fink-devel] Removal of mozilla from dist

[Hanspeter N. <fi...@sn...>]

The package mozilla is _very_ old, and probably has gazillion of 
security issues.  It also conflicts with some changes that JFM and 
myself wish to make to firefox & seamonkey.  Currently, the only package 
that depends on it is openvrml, which has been superseded by openvrml016.

Philip, can openvrml be removed from Fink so that we can remove mozilla?

And if someone has a reason why mozilla shouldn't be removed, please 
speak up (an upgrade stub package to either seamonkey or firefox could 
easily be put in its place if wanted).

BTW, the proposed change is to change the default 3rd party gecko plugin 
location from the hardcoded /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to 
%p/lib/mozilla/plugins (%p/lib/%N/plugins will still work as it 
currently does).  The benefit is that future releases of each browser 
will be able to find 3rd party plugins (currently mozplugger and librsvg 
and soon gnash) w/out being limited to a specific browserN.
