One issue I see with a `browserplugin' USE flag is that there may at |
| 2 |
some point be web browsers in the tree that support plugins that are not |
| 3 |
Mozilla-compatible. Although there are multiple Mozilla-compatible |
| 4 |
browsers (mainly browsers which use Mozilla code or have Mozilla |
| 5 |
embedded), the plugins in question are nonetheless essentially |
| 6 |
``Mozilla'' plugins. Thus it is probably better for the USE flag to be |
| 7 |
called `mozillaplugin', to allow for the future introduction of other |
| 8 |
browser-specific plugin USE flags. (It would be undesirable for ebuilds |
| 9 |
supporting multiple types of web browser plugins to, if the single |
| 10 |
`browserplugin' USE flag is enabled, install plugins for all of the |
| 11 |
supported browsers that portage says are installed.) |
