+--- Comment #8 from Romain d'Alverny <rdalverny at gmail.com> 2011-03-18 23:28:46 UTC ---
+indexhtml specfile puts everything correct under mga/indexhtml while doc/HTML
+has only one single HTML file; and that's the place where the browser is
+expected to go.
+
+See
+http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/firefox/current/SPECS/firefox.spec
+lines 295 and 301 where browser.startup.homepage property is set twice
+(duplicate) to doc/HTML/index.html
+
+Btw, using distribution-specific tag "mga" in the path is not good.
+
+So it involves a few other packages that depend on indexhtml (namely:
+evolution, midori, links, firefox).
+
+To fix this, I suggest:
+ * update and cleanup indexhtml specfile so that:
+    - we don't create/populate /usr/share/doc/HTML anymore
+    - we move the home page in /usr/share/indexhtml/
+    - this is valid for welcome mail path too, we could move these in
+/usr/share/indexhtml/mail/ ? or /usr/share/welcomemail/ since we may move them
+into a separate package later?
+ * so we will need to check dependent packages so that they use the correct
+path (however, only firefox and links seems to explicitly use the path in the
+spec file, so it may have been hardcoded somewhere else in other packages).
+ * ensure it all works
+
+Cc'ing ennael for advice, who last committed on these packages (among others).
+I can do the indexhtml part and firefox/links specfile, but not sure about the
+rest (mail path, evolution, midori). What about Konqueror by the way?
