Yes, now that you say that, I can see them too - I do my Woody backports in
an otherwise empty chroot and I can see from the timestamps that they were
created during the build of the packages.
A 'grep -sr .netscape6' turned up suspicious code very quickly:
build-tree/oo_1.0.1_src/setup2/jsnative/nunxos.cxx: strcat( buf,
"/.netscape6/plugins" );
Looking at that file, I see stuff like this:
void UnxOS::getNS6PluginDir(char* buf)
{
const char* pEnv = getenv( "HOME" );
if( pEnv )
{
strcpy( buf, pEnv );
strcat( buf, "/.netscape6/plugins" );
if ( access( buf, F_OK ) != 0 )
{ // create the directory
strcpy( buf, pEnv );
strcat( buf, "/.netscape6" );
makeDir( buf, 755 );
strcat( buf, "/plugins" );
makeDir( buf, 755 );
}
return;
}
Time to file an issue.
