Package: firefox-gnome-support
Version: 1.5.dfsg-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
It would be nice if the firefox-gnome-support package could register a
gnome-www-browser alternative as firefox does for www-browser. This
would permit the extension of the "sensible-browser" logic to work
under GNOME too.
It would also be nice if the firefox-gnome-support package could
provide a gnome-www-browser virtual package so that application can
depend on epiphany-browser | gnome-www-browser.
There was some discussion on the subject in #348775, if you're
interested on the "why?".
The attached patch adds these two things, and adds a trailing newline
to debian/control (no idea why it's missing, seems weird to me).
Cheers,
