Firefox happily detects the missing plugin when i access a page that requires it, but then on the install plugin wizard it just says that it's not available and we need to either do a manual installation or go to yast and search for it. Wouldn't it be great if the required plugin package was installed right there ?
Ubuntu does this, why doesn't openSuse ?
openSUSE now does it ;-) Actually that's not the whole truth for the moment. People using the OBS mozilla repository and updated very recently (like today or later yesterday) have everything what's needed on the client side. But still it only does useful things on 11.1 and for Flash since this is the only data I currently have in the backend database. The reason is that it has to be created manually since openSUSE packaging up to now doesn't help me in any way to collect the data in an automated way. So what's missing: - better YaST behaviour (http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515047) - better YMP handling on software.opensuse.org to avoid repo duplicates in zypp - translators to localize a few strings in the Firefox addon to as much languages as possible (en-US and de are available currently) - probably some bugfixing in the extension - support from the repository metadata to collect plugin information - scripts to gather the data once the above is available - an "official" backend location Most of the above is out of my hands and would need support from other people or groups within the openSUSE community so I'm not sure when and if it will be solved. And as long as that's not clear it's probably not going to land in Factory.
