Description Timo Gurr (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-07 10:29:50 UTC
blackdown-jre-1.4.2_rc1-r2 with enabled mozilla USE flag makes vlc emerge mozilla

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add mozilla USE flag to make.conf so you have java support in mozilla-firefox
2. emerge vlc and it wants to emerge mozilla
3. 
Actual Results:  
mozilla got installed and i don't wanted it to be installed by blackdown-jre.
there should be different use flags for the vlc mozilla integration and the java
support for browsers in blackdown-jre

Expected Results:  
mozilla should not be emerged by any program if i have mozilla in my
blackdown-jre USE flags.

perhaps the flag could be renamed to java-plugin or something similiar.
Comment 1 Karl Trygve Kalleberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-23 02:34:15 UTC
The mozilla USE flag is globally used to enable Mozilla support, and having it as a USE flag to blackdown-jre is the correct solution.

Your problem can easily be solved by editing your /etc/portage/package.use, as
is documented in the friendly Gentoo Handbook.
