Discussion: #1: Wolfgang Rosenauer (wrosenauer) (2011-12-16 10:52:53) We used to have web_browser which is provided by MozillaFirefox and seamonkey (you forgot above ;-)) and back then when those were added every web browser had that. This is not the best choice for icedtea-web though as it includes things like w3m. Do we have browsers which do not support NPAPI Plugins? Hmm, probably makes sense to have the following set anyway: - web_browser (for every browser including w3m and stuff as it always has been the case) - a provides for npapi capable browsers (browser(npapi)?) I don't know if we need a rendering engine based provides flag though. If so I don't care about the name but do not use "gecko" as it's already used for xulrunner which provides "gecko" to embedders. browser (gecko) would make clear that it's a browser using gecko. browser (webkit) etc. + #2: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2011-12-16 12:03:44) (reply to #1) + browser(npapi) makes sense to me. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313084
