Description Jan Schubert 2005-02-12 16:17:21 UTC

There is a DEPEND="net-www/mozilla" included in the current ebuild for net-www/netscape-plugger-5.1.3. This is wrong. http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html states it is also working for opera and netscape. I would bet it is working for others too (firefox and konqueror f.i.).

Comment 1 Hans Kwint 2005-03-16 12:28:46 UTC

True for firefox 1.0.1,

I did:
# emerge -C plugger (some old 4.0)
Then, remove the named dependency in named ebuild,
then
# emerge netscape-plugger (5.1.3)
/opt/netscape/plugins/plugger.so was already linked to the firefox dir
(/opt/firefox/plugins),

Tested the thing, 
Worked for me!
(No mozilla needed)

It is also working for firefox-1.0.4

IMHO, 99.9% of the people installing nescape-plugger have some netscape-like
browser installed (why would you want a plugin without having the "father"
program?). So why not simply remove the dependency and add a warning in the
ebuild stating that you need a netscape-like browser for plugger to work?
