Bug 10811 – Adobe's SVG plugin for Mozilla

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Turambar 2002-11-15 23:53:39 UTC]

This is another plugin for Mozilla - one that handles the W3C's SVG (scalable
vector graphic) format.

This uses Adobe's license, so please check out the license first.

Ebuild for Adobe's SVG Mozilla plug-in

[Comment 2 Brad Cowan (RETIRED) 2002-11-25 03:02:09 UTC]

I appreciate the submission, but after reading the liscense I'm gonna hold off and 
see what others think of it...might be better not to include an official ebuild.
 Let the actual user intall themselves, but not 100% yet :)

Has there been any progress on this matter since 2002-11-25?  An ebuild that installs the adobe svg plugin into the mozilla and phoenix directories would be very useful.  If the licence is a problem, you can provide the ebuild and ask the user to download the tarball themselves and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles.  How does that sound?

This doesn't work in ANY recent version of Mozilla.  I believe the last version in which it worked was like 0.7.  The Mozilla group changed the plug-in architecture around then and Adobe claims they can't make an SVG plug-in using the current plug0in architecture.

It'll open .svg and .svgz files, but it will completely crash Mozilla if there's an embedded .svg file.

It works to an extent with most phoenix nightly builds.

not going to add this to the tree at least for now
