Description Nemanja Jakovljevic 2007-01-15 16:47:10 UTC 
It would be nice if meta-ebuild is provided which will cover mozilla-firefox and mozilla-firefox-bin. Then other applications can depend on it insetad on mozilla-firefox. I am using mozilla-firefox-bin and I don't like the situation where some ebuild request to compile mozilla-firefox.


Reproducible: Always

No, they can't. You cannot compile anything against mozilla-firefox-bin.
Comment 2 Nemanja Jakovljevic 2007-01-15 19:17:29 UTC 
Well, for example if you emerge vlc with USE="nsplugin" it wants either mozilla-firefox or seamonkey installed.
I don't think they (applications that provide nsplugin) anything else then binary version to build (they successfully build if I just set mozilla-firefox as provided package)

Not going to happen, period. You can't compile stuff against firefox-bin.
