Bug 309141 – net-misc/icaclient: Please add nsplugin USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2010-03-12 14:15:40 UTC]

icaclient comes with a browser plugin.

Due to its 32 bit nature, icaclient has to depend on nspluginwrapper.

It would be nice to have the option not to install the plugin and therefore not install nspluginwrapper.
(In my case, the ICA plugin is the only non-64bit plugin I have.)





Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 223281 [details, diff]
patch for icaclient-11.100.ebuild 

patch introduces +nsplugin USE flag and omits dep on nspluginwrapper and does not install plugin if that is disabled.

It still works?  The last time I tried to introduce the nsplugin USE flag it failed miserably...but this is more than one year ago with the old 10.x version.

To be honest I wouldn't know because I only use it to acccess my uni server, which sends a config file with the seamless window mode configured and that has never worked on any Linux Box I tried.
So usually I save that config file, edit it and launch it with wfica, never using the plugin.

If it doesn't work maybe it shouldn't install at all and icaclient can drop the dep on nspluginwrapper?

 No, not installing certain parts related to the plugin made the normal client unusuable.  Added your patches and let's see if people complain.  Sorry for the delay, the bug fell off my radar.
