Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2009-12-28 10:53:41 UTC 
Hello

Since I am trying to update emul-linux-x86* I would want to know if www-plugins/adobe-flash would be updated to RDEPEND on app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs once it provides libcurl and nss

Cons:
- adobe-flash would depend on a bigger tarball, since it also includes other libs. On the other hand, emul-linux-x86-baselibs is really common on amd64 multilib setups.

Pros:
- nss and libcurl libs would be shared with other packages
- Some people already suggested to include them in bug 224747 and bug 252220 . I will include libcurl anyway since it seems to be used by other apps, but I was doubting about including nss (and its rdeps: sqlite and nspr) until I checked that adobe-flash was supplying them.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

www-plugins/adobe-flash already *does* RDEPEND on emul-linux-x86-baselibs. We currently need it for:
  libgmodule-2.0.so.0
  libgobject-2.0.so.0
  libz.so.1
  libglib-2.0.so.0
And maybe some others too.

It would certainly make my life easier if it also included libnss and libcurl (and dependencies), so please go ahead!

Ups, yes, sorry for the noise, I will get them into baselibs if possible on the next round 

Thanks a lot

(Going now to the bug used for this)

Well, now it is and the /opt/flash-libcompat is no longer needed. Please see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311575.
