 Hi,

 ~x86 means that this package is marked as unstable because it needs
 some testing, if you want to test it (don't worry, I've my whole
 system in ~x86 and it's quite stable), just unmask it this way :

 echo net-www/mozplugger ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords

 You'll have to create /etc/portage/ if it's the first time you use the
 /etc/portage/* files ...

 regards,

 Boris.

I have acroread (adobe) and document viewer installed, either of
which can read PDF files.  prior to emerging mozplugger firefox would
launch acroread as a seperate application.  Currently,
edit=preferences=downloads in firefox doesn't show an action for
PDF files.  Yet, when clicking on a PDF file link from firefox, the
complete URL, ending with .pdf, loads--only it's a blank page.

No running windows found

Usage: /usr/bin/acroread [options] [list of files]

Options:
--display=DISPLAY
This option specifies the host and display to use.
--screen=SCREEN
X screen to use. Use this options to override the
screen part of the DISPLAY environment variable.
--sync
Make X calls synchronous. This slows down the program considerably.
-geometry [widthxheight][{+|-}x offset{+|-}y offset]
Size and/or location of the document windows.
Note: this option is position dependent, and can be
specified multiple times. The geometry specified only
affects the list of files following it.
-help
Prints the common command-line options.
-iconic
Launches in an iconic state on the desktop.
-setenv var=value
Tells the main application to perform the equivalent of
C-shell setenv var value.
-tempFile
Indicates files listed on the command line are temporary files
and should not be put in the recent file list.  The document
title will be the title in the pdf document, instead of the
filename.
-tempFileTitle title
Same as -tempFile, except the title is specified.
-toPostScript [options] pdf_file ... [ps_dir]
-toPostScript [options] -pairs pdf_file_1 ps_file_1 ...
-toPostScript [options]
Converts the given pdf_files to PostScript.

In the first form, if the last file specified is a directory,
then all preceding files will be converted to PostScript
and the generated PostScript files will be placed into ps_dir.
If a directory is not specified, then the PostScript files
will be placed in the same directory as the original file.

In the second form, the file list contains pairs, each
consisting of a PDF filename and a corresponding PostScript
filename.

The third form specifies a filter, reading a PDF file from
standard input and writing the PostScript file to standard
output.

Note: When using -toPostScript it must be the first argument
passed in on the command line.

The following are valid options for the conversion of PDF to
PostScript:

-binary - emit binary PostScript where possible
-start int - identify the first page in the document to be
   converted (default is the first page of the document)
-end int - identify the last page in the document to be
   converted (default is the last page of the document)
-optimizeForSpeed - emit PostScript such that all fonts are
   emitted once at the beginning of the document.  This
   results in faster transmission times and smaller
   PostScript documents but requires more PostScript printer
   virtual memory.
-landscape - rotate the pages to print landscape
-reverse - reverse 

[gentoo-user] mozplugger is masked

It's masked:

but, when I went to http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?mozplugger-1.5.2 
I notice just one bug relating to installing mozplugger.


Do other gentoo users unmask generally, go without, or substitute?  I 
don't think there's a substitute, but...

Hi,

~x86 means that this package is marked as unstable because it needs
some testing, if you want to test it (don't worry, I've my whole
system in ~x86 and it's quite stable), just unmask it this way :

echo net-www/mozplugger ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords

You'll have to create /etc/portage/ if it's the first time you use the
/etc/portage/* files ...

regards,

Boris.

Thanks, Boris.  I figured it was stable enough for everyday use, but
figure it's masked for good reason.  I imagine the worst mozplugger
could do would be to crash firefox (unless there's a larger problem
with firefox), but am kinda gunshy about unmasking stuff.  I'm finding
portage very easy to use, but it's a bit of a surprise how long it
takes to compile stuff!  :)
