Hi We currently have neither langpacks, dictionaries nor add-ons for Icecat packaged.
This forces the users to install them iperatively through Icecat which for the case of dictionaries entails getting an error when following the "add dictionaries" menu-link in Icecat to an old mozilla-page. Installing via the new mozilla dictionary UI page here does work though (swedish): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/g%C3%B6rans-hemmasnickrade-ordli/ Clicking install downloads and loads this file: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/1163981/swedish_dictionary-1.18.1webext.xpi The langpacks are provided by upstream here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/60.3.0/langpacks/ Add-ons installation support is buggy as has been reported here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2018-12/msg00004.html We can do better than this! I beleive all these problems could be solved easily if we would package these in guix and make sure our Icecat looks for them in the right place. Perhaps a new mozilla-importer and mozilla-build-system is a worthwhile project? It should unpack and install the .xpi-files. There is an API available for the add-ons repository: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/AMO/Add-ons_manager_API An example output is this: https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/api/1.5/addon/1865 If we package the langpacks and dictionaries from the upstream links I hope we can update them with "guix refresh". -- Cheers Swedebugia
