It may not even be possible to enable it in Gentoo builds or it may be |
| 10 |
possible only in firefox-bin builds. From that article (which is by |
| 11 |
Mozilla's CTO, by the way), |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Mozilla will distribute the sandbox alongside Firefox, and we are |
| 14 |
working on deterministic builds that will allow developers to use a |
| 15 |
sandbox compiled on their own machine with the CDM as an alternative. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
IMO they *must* make that possible. Otherwise the sandbox itself has |
| 18 |
to be a binary blob, which would negate much of reason for having a |
| 19 |
sandbox in the first place -- it would only be an alleged sandbox. |

He also says, |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
As plugins today, the CDM itself will be distributed by Adobe and |
| 24 |
will not be included in Firefox. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So if/when Gentoo gets around to making the CDM available, ISTM it will |
| 27 |
almost certainly be a package separate from Firefox. If so, maybe |
| 28 |
there will be a USE flag for Firefox which pulls the CDM in as a |
| 29 |
dependency, but that flag should be off by default (again IMO). |
