I already commented in FATE but for completeness. At SUSE we were using Provides: web_browser since (I cannot remember, likely between 2000 and 2002). Not sure why we obviously do not anymore ;-)
Not sure if you were being sarcastic, but on 12.1:
rpm -q --provides MozillaFirefox web_browser firefox = 8.0-2.3.2
I know. In FATE I wrote that my packages still contain that. I really cannot remember about the details from ten years ago but I'm pretty sure we introduced that for a reason and therefore was expecting somehow that every browser in openSUSE follows the rule. But as I think about it, it might be that this was not obvious to browser packagers (or Java plugin) packagers over time.
What I was trying to say simply was: We also have such a thing since a looooong time but we also should refine it to current requirements ;-)

- Integrated the latest bugfixes. - Added: Provides: web_browser to the specfile.
It even was added with Mozilla 0.6 before I took over.

At least on my system, only MozillaFirefox, w3m, links, lynx, and seamonkey provide web_browser, and only tclplug requires it. So if we already have the web_browser provides, would it be good to add more specifics to that instead of making a new one, or make something new considering how few packages seem to currently use it? Either way, what specific extensions do we need? People have already mentioned: NPAPI -- maybe web_browser(NPAPI), web_browse(nsplugin), or something like that? rendering engine -- maybe web_browser(gecko), web_browser(webkit), web_browser(kthml), etc. Why do we need this one, though? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
