Firefox 17.0.2 requires alsa-lib , which I don't want as I don't use sound; |
| 2 |
this is still the case with USE="-alsa". |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I want to test what happens if I try to compile it without that dep, |
| 5 |
so I copied the ebuild to /var/lib/layman/local/www-client/firefox/ |
| 6 |
& commented the relevant line to remove the RDEPEND. |
| 7 |
When I then tried 'ebuild <newpkgname>...ebuild manifest', |
| 8 |
it started to download xillions of little .xpi files into distfiles , |
| 9 |
apparently 1 for each of the World's many languages |
| 10 |
(this didn't happen at my last 'eix-sync'). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Can anyone suggest a way to avoid this problem ? |
