gnome-2.10.1 - disabling epiphany/mozilla

bos_mindwarp

How to prevent portage from emerging mozilla? I removed epiphany line from gnome ebuild, but I still get mozilla. 'emerge -upv world' doesnt give me any clues what emerges mozilla. I am perfectly happy with firefox, I don't need 2 more packages that do basically the same thing.

Hi,
maybe gnome-light suits your needs? Quote from the ebuild:

yeah I might try it. I just find it stupid that epiphany exists in the first place. It means +3 hours of compiling stuff, just to use firefox-bin anyway...

Epiphany exists because while many people will use Firefox, it doesn't behave like a GNOME app. It's not HIG compliant and it doesn't use gtk widgets. If you don't want Epiphany/Mozilla then gnome-light is almost certainly the way to go, but Epiphany is a great browser and certainly has a reason to exist (I use it almost exclusively). I though with newer versions it could be built against Firefox instead of Mozilla though.

thing is, I already have gnome-2.10 AND firefox without mozilla at all. It is only now when updating my system that it wants to emerge mozilla.

Maybe because it's firefox-bin. I think I heard that Epiphany will compile against firefox, but maybe not the binary version. I also just noticed that there is a "firefox" USE flag associated with Epiphany, but I've never tried it.

Adding firefox to use flags solves the mozilla problem...
