Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29514
nswrapper: netscape vs. mozilla
Last modified: 2007-02-05 13:34:10 UTC
First, I am sorry if this is a bad component. There is isntalled the script nswrapper in OOo_HOME/program. I think that mozilla is used more widely nowadays. I will attach a patch which fixes the script to use mozilla instead of netscape. In fact, I didn't find where the script is used in OOo sources. I do not know if it is used used by some users. Maybe it could/should be removed at all.
Created attachment 15469 [details] This patch fixes nswrapper to start mozilla instead of netscape.
TM->MH: Please have a look, thanks !
mh->obr: do you know if the script nswrapper is used anymore ?
The script has always been there as an example to be used from the "external programs" tabpage, which I removed from the OOo 2.0 code base a couple of weeks ago. So for OOo 2.0, this file can be removed. For OOo 1.1.x it may be a better idea to install a second file for mozilla instead of patching the original one.
So, will someone create a patch that creates a new wrapper script for mozilla instead of patching the netscape one ? Otherwise I will close this as WONTFIX.
obr @ pmladek: please rework the patch so that it creates a new file for wrapping mozilla instead of patching the original one.
I am sorry. I am quite busy this week. I'll do it the following week.
Created attachment 16906 [details] This patch adds mozwrapper as a complement to nswrapper (it is against OOo, version 1.1.2)
I have added the requested patch and will reassing the bug back to obr.
mh->pmladek: are you able to commit yourself ? ooo113fix2 is open for commit at the moment !
Ah, I cannot commit it. I do not have write access.
Hi Petr, committed to cws_srx645_ooo113fix2. Regards, René
thanks for taking over.
Hi, Hmm. And since this example files are useless in 2.0 as obr said, I just committed the removal to cws_src680_ooo20040815. Issue fixed :-) Regards, René
Created attachment 17138 [details] This patch avoid installation warning "File nswrapper not found."
When I built and installed cws_src680_ooo20040815, the installation program warned me that it couldn't find "nswrapper". The removal caused this problem. You should have also removed related things from ooo_file.scp. Apply this patch to cws_src680_ooo20040815. Regards, Takashi Nakamoto (signed JCA)
ok, reviewed for 113fix2, both scripts get installed now.
verified.
