Description Jory A. Pratt 2005-08-03 00:03:02 UTC
This IMHO should go to nsbrowser/nsplugin so symlink is created for all browsers
... I for one set -mozilla. This plugin does work for firefox and others, and
mozilla is slowly dying seamonkey is starting its climb to replace mozilla-suite
which will cause yet another USE flag to change later anyways.

The plugin is placed in the right place. it's in /opt/netscape/plugins.
Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt 2005-08-16 09:08:03 UTC
location is not issue the mozilla USE flag is issue and should be changed to
nsplugin
Comment 4 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-16 15:17:41 UTC
ok It's fixed with acroread 7.0.1.1. It's works with all gecko based browsers.
Thanks

Why "nsplugin"? Sun-jre-bin and other java implementations use "browserplugin". 
For consistency's sake, I would suggest using browserplugin.

Backward compatibility goes out the window with the drop of the hat around here.
Thus causing everyone that still uses mozilla to change their use flags. And
what already it will happen again, and yet another for Java. 

You people should have some mainframe experience. This kind of stuff causes too
many users too many delays.

In the corporate world you never, never disable a flag until it's usefullness
has expired.

Actually, this could be done with an intelligent migration - just like when 
package categories are updated, emerge sync automatically 
updates /etc/portage/package.keywords files etc. So, if USE-flags change, just 
update the appropriate fields in package.use or make.conf automatically.
