[Pkg-kde-extras] iceweasel-kde-support on Debian

2011-07-31 Thread Rafael Belmonte
Hello, I am mailing, KDE Extras Team, and Mozilla Team because my petition
is related to both teams.
This is to remember you about the existence of Kmozillahelper or also called
firefox-kde-support.
This is a package which provides Firefox (or Iceweasel in our case) a better
KDE integration and support, adding the following features:

* Getting proxy configuration
* Getting default applications by file extension, type, and protocol
* The Open with: dialog
* The file open dialog
* The file save dialog, with KIO network transparency
* The directory selection dialog
* Opening files with default applications
* Running applications
* Opening the default feed reader
* Opening the default mail client
* Opening the default news client
* Checking and setting the default web browser
* Showing KDE notifications on download completions

This is already being used in OpenSuse (which is also upstream), and also is
used in Kubuntu packaged as firefox-kde-support.
You can find upstream software here:
http://gitorious.org/firefox-kde-opensuse
And information about the Ubuntu package here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/kmozillahelper
The Debian Bug #608171 is also related to this matter.
The current KDE integration of Iceweasel has a lot to be desired compared
with the other mentioned distributions, please consider joining efforts to
make it better on Debian KDE desktop.
Thanks you very much.

Well, personally I would be kind of interested in seeing better iceweasel 
integration with KDE Platform. However:

1) as far as I can tell from #608171, some patch is needed for iceweasel. 
Unfortunately, iceweasel maintainers do not seem very fond of it. Personally, 
I'm not willing to invest my time into developing a better patch/solution for 
iceweasel.

2) ITP is already owned by P. J. McDermott. So unless this is a request for 
sponsorship or take over, I don't see how anybody from KDE maintainers can 
help here.
