Bug#908285: Bug#919458: RFP: cookie-autodelete -- delete cookies not used by any open tab
[adding #908285 to CC, moving #919458 to BCC] Hi Christoph, (I think you wanted #908285, not #919458 here. Resending to all all on your behalf…) § Sean Whitton wrote... > Package: wnpp > Severity: wishlist > > * Package name: cookie-autodelete > Version : 2.2.0 > Upstream Author : Name To be precise: Kenny Do > * URL : https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete > * License : MIT > Programming Lang: JavaScript webext > Description : delete cookies not used by any open tab > > This is a useful replacement for xul-ext-self-destructing-cookies, which doesn't work with the new Firefox ESR 60.0. Indeed, and that's why I spent a few hours on this. Summary, it's not that easy. Here are my findings so other people have to go throught this again: The pre-compiled .xpi contains a bundles/ subdirectory which is essential for cookie-autodelete to work. These files are missing in the sources, and if I understand correctly, they are gathered when building using npm - while in the Debian ecosystem they should rather be shipped by other packages. One of them might be node-react which hasn't reached testing yet and I'm not sure whether it will in time for buster freeze. Minor issue: dh_webext installs the files in an "extensions/" subdirectory where firefox will not find the extensions. Might require some tweaking but is not a blocker. So I'll give up on this for the moment. If anybody else feels comfortable to continue, go ahead. Christoph
