Which can't be turned off. I thought that this was actually a violation of the packaging policies, but I can't seem to find it now; I only see the restriction on software the requires downloads to be useful. I think simply requiring Mozilla to change their policies is unacceptable, as this still depends on a third party to properly enforce such policies (and not have any security issue that could result in untrusted addons being installed). IMHO such behavior needs to be disabled by default in any packages shipped by Fedora for Fedora to remain a trustworthy distribution. Are there any other packages that can silently download and run non-Fedora code? -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
