Description Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2014-06-26 21:33:24 UTC 
# fgrep -R RDEPEND= .
./chrome-binary-plugins-9999.ebuild:RDEPEND="www-client/chromium"
./chrome-binary-plugins-35.0.1916.153_p1.ebuild:RDEPEND="=www-client/chromium-${PV%%.*}*"
./chrome-binary-plugins-36.0.1985.84_beta1.ebuild:RDEPEND="=www-client/chromium-${PV%%.*}*"
./chrome-binary-plugins-37.0.2054.3_alpha1.ebuild:RDEPEND="=www-client/chromium-${PV%%.*}*"

I would like to have www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins installed without having www-client/chromium installed.  My use case is with www-plugins/freshplayerplugin of the betagarden overlay but I don't see need on depending on www-client/chromium anyway.  People installing the binary packages either have Chromium installed or need just the plug-ins.  If that dependency is meant to actually prevent other Chromium versions, maybe turn it into blockers of those other version.  Would that work?

Thanks!

Yeah, I have never really liked that RDEPEND anyway. Feel free to remove it, or I will do it when I have a few free minutes.
