Frédéric Wang (:fredw) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords| |dev-doc-needed Whiteboard| |[read from comment 40 for | |documentation] --- Comment #40 from Frédéric Wang (:fredw) <[email protected]> 2015-02-18 03:16:02 PST --- This commit adds a new nsIPackageKitService XPCOM API to be able to perform PackageKit installation requests based on package names, mime types, font-config or GStreamer resources: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/pk-intro.html https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-packagekit/index.html For the detailed XPCOM API, see https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/9696d1c4b3ba/xpcom/system/nsIPackageKitService.idl as well as attachment 8519421 for a sample add-on using that API. This is only available on Gnome versions of applications (Linux and probably more Unix systems) with a GIO library that is recent enough to support PackageKit (in particular, this is unlikely to be the case for the official Linux builds by Mozilla until bug 627699 is fixed). Using the new "font-needed" notification described at bug 619521 comment 151 and the installation method introduced here, Linux maintainers should be able to write extensions to support font autoinstallation, as asked in comment 0. See https://github.com/fred-wang/MissingFontsNotifier for a work-in-progress add-on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------------------------------- Product/Component: Firefox :: General ------- Tracking Flags: ------- status-firefox38:fixed ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
