I'd prefer if the standard just said "do not do it" :) Imagine the amount of poor quality extensions that might eventually hit fedora then (trust me, there's a big amount of them :), which would need continuous work of ensuring security and compatibility between updates, etc. etc. Most of them would really be better installed on per-user basis, and updates done by mozilla's (well, at least firefox does that) built in update and compatibility check system. While I am definitely against the idea of a dedicated SIG, some extensions will still be nice in Fedora. This means some really popular and well tested ones with good security track, and translations that posses no security risk by its nature. Probably if it were a way to convert them easily to RPMs for people that deploy their own extensions via own repositories it would be superb. I still do not know. Is this worth filing upstream as a feature request: "A way to automate extension installation (from commandline)"? > And while we're at it, handling OO.o extensions would be nice too I was not even aware that OOo also support extensions :} -- Lubomir Kundrak (Red Hat Security Response Team) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
