I think net-www/mplayerplug-in should depend on net-libs/xulrunner (instead of www-client/mozilla-firefox-2) by default, because of following paragraph from www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0_beta5 postinst: ewarn "All the packages built against ${PN} won't compile," ewarn "since they should be built against net-libs/xulrunner," ewarn "therefore you should check if your package builds against" ewarn "xulrunner and if it doesn't, file a bug, thanks." By default default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop has USE=firefox, which will make net-www/mplayerplug-in use www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* by default. I dont know how this could be solved cleanly, while providing the ability to still depend on firefox, if that is at all desired. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Yeah, xulrunner should be over everything else... The depend should look like: xulrunner? ( =net-libs/xulrunner-1.8* ) !xulrunner? ( firefox? ( =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* ) ) !xulrunner? ( !firefox? ( seamonkey? ( =www-client/seamonkey-1* ) ) )
If I go by that warning, I think it should be firefox? ( firefox ) !firefox? ( seamonkey? ( seamonkey ) ) !firefox? ( !seamonkey? ( xulrunner ) ) Or use your deps and IUSE=+xulrunner Or strip everything but xulrunner at all, if seamonkey can utilise xulrunner, too.
Forget the first part... echo "enable" > /dev/brain
Would it be possible to use xulrunner-bin alternatively to xulrunner in the dependencies list? At the moment I'm forced to compile xulrunner only because of two packages, namely acroread and mplayerplug-in. I've noticed that starting from acroread version 8.1.2-r2 it will be possible to use xulrunner-bin and it would be nice if that was possible for mplayerplug-in as well.
There's a further issue at play here: currently mplayerplug-in doesnt select the 1.8 xulrunner libs/headers, so if you have both 1.8 and 1.9 installed, it'll croak pitifully on compile. So it going to need either a slotted dep on XUL, with a fix to make it use 1.8 only, or a (possibly larger) fix to make it work with 1.9 too.
Fixed, and for the request of using xulrunner-bin, thats the same issue as using a -bin package of firefox or seamonkey...
