Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-11 13:54:53 UTC
This package replaces the old built-in nsbrowser plugin that was in vlc-1.1 (acessible via USE='nsplugin', which is now use.mask'd due to a dependency on xulrunner).  The plugin works with vlc-1.1, and as such should be stabilized so that users that want to use vlc within their browsers but want to remain stable-keyworded can do so.

KEYWORDS for vlc-1.1.13 (latest stable) are "alpha amd64 ~arm ppc ppc64 sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd" and so I've CC'd all of those arch's even though npapi-vlc's KEYWORDS is a much shorter list at the moment.

AT's please take your time, if you prefer.

vlc-1.1 is gone from the tree, does this still work?

>=npapi-vlc-2.0 is from vlc-2.x series... and just happened to work for 1.1 too, so I see no reason why package intended for 2.x series wouldn't work for 2.x series.
Comment 9 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-30 07:00:09 UTC
however I have no idea why alpha/sparc is asked to keyword something like this, a multimedia browser plug-in?
You would propably be better off with gecko-mediaplayer anyways.
Comment 10 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-30 17:31:57 UTC
well, no need to do this for sparc since >=vlc-2.0 doesn't work there...
Comment 11 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-01 16:41:36 UTC
Keywords on this package were meant to originally match those of vlc-1.1 as this package took over providing the browser plugin for vlc-1.1 as well as 2.0 (vlc-1.1 with the built-in 'nsplugin' being deprecated due to incompatibility with spidermonkey-1.8.5)

Since vlc-1.1 is gone (yes? i didn't look), any irrelevant keywords should probably be dropped.
Comment 12 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-10-07 14:03:40 UTC
For alpha we'll do it if an user requests it unless you plan to add this a dep on vlc :)
