Patch correcting storage location for Unix systems
The problem is in function BrowserApplication::dataLocation()
in src/browserapplication.cpp, line 930. It tries to store application data in the folder of the application binary, on Unix-like systems that is /usr/bin which is not writeable for normal users.
The patchsets the data location to ~/.local/share/data/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser/.
A deeeper cause for the problem could be that s_portableRunMode is set to true.
The patch remedies also the problem that preferences are stored in the temporary directory. On Unix-like systems that is /tmp, which is not guaranteed to survive a reboot. Preferences are now stored in ~/.local/share/data/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser.ini
Should this package better be removed? Still depends on highly vulnerable Qt4WebKit, does not look as if there is any upstream left to pick up the phone (and accept patches, for that matter). Package removed. |
