Description Milosz Kosobucki 2007-01-24 14:03:12 UTC 
There are some packages that depend on source version of either mozilla-firefox or seamonkey. For example, i wanted to get the vlc browser plugin but when i set nsplugin use flag the package wanted to compile firefox from source. There are other packages that behave similarly, AFAIR devhelp.
So, is there any possibility to make some mozilla-headers package that would contain only things needed to compile these applications, so people won't be forced to build mozilla from source?

Reproducible: Always
