Description Michael Jones 2020-08-06 22:37:23 UTC

This popular Chrome and Firefox plugin / extension / addon requires an application to be installed on the system to handle some of it's functionality.

The source code for the companion application is GPL-v2 licensed, and available on github. https://github.com/mi-g/vdhcoapp

I am asking to create an ebuild for this package too.

Comment 2 Aleksander 2021-02-08 01:47:38 UTC

This application works without standart installation.

The 

https://www.downloadhelper.net/install-coapp?browser=firefox

page has both an targz archive and installation instructions.

I now have a fully working extension without ebuild and standart installation.

I tried to compile this project from source today, the build.sh script tried to install npm into /usr/lib64 - maybe this won't ever work with gentoo package manager?
