As you may know,
Ubuntu has an installer for plugins which installs the plugins from the
repository. It is contained in the package ubufox.
This installer uses gnome-app-install to install the plugins. Since some
time, gnome-app-install is available in Debian. It would therefore be great
to enable this functionality in Debian as well.
Requirements:
- Adding desktop files for the extensions to the app-install-data
package
- Adding Xb-Npp-Applications, Xb-Npp-MimeType, and Xb-Npp-Name to the
binary packages of the plugins
- Enabling the functionality in xulrunner/iceweasel. (The plugin could
also be provided by the gnome-app-install package)
Advantages:
- Plugins are installed using apt
Affected packages:
- app-install-data (my package)
- [gnome-app-install (my package)] or
[a new package containing the plugin finder]
- all the plugin packages
