In order to install the native side of a web extension, It is needed to
place a JSON manifest on predefined directories for each supported browser:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts
Creating a package that support each browser without having to create
one subpackage for each one has the problem of having to set the
ownership for each of these directories to my package, but that
generates conflicts with the real owners at install time.
I can maybe use an ugly workaround, not having ownership and removing
empty directories by hand on uninstall.
I seriously don't know how gnome-browser-connector [1] has ownership of:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
and not have conflict problems with mozilla-filesystem at install time,
maybe because they usually get installed at the same time with the
system installer.
Any recommendations? This is not a Fedora package but want it to be
Fedora compatible, I just want the single package give support for any
browser like gnome-browser-connector do, without leaving leftover
directories at uninstall if the user doesn't have that browser installed.
