This helps with gnome.
But why does USE="mozilla" *not* help?
Also mozilla is a web-client.

BTW: I only use some apps of gnome, maybe I should not emerge the whole
gnome thing at all.

Ok, as I said, i am not a gnome user, but a quick emerge -t is enough to get
some info. It is not gnome directly the one that needs firefox/seamonkey, but
yelp, as can be seen here:

[code]

# emerge -t gnome-light | grep -U5 firefox

[ebuild N ] gnome-base/control-center-2.14.2 USE="alsa
eds -debug -gstreamer"

[/code]

I think the reason why the mozilla USE does not affect this if pretty obvious.
It is yelp the one that needs firefox or seamonkey, and, as you can see, it
has no "mozilla" use flag available. Could it be done by modifying the
ebuild? I am almost sure, not that seamonkey or firefox are anything
different to mozilla in capabilities.

I tinkered a bit with this and came along with this ebuild (i have no idea
about ebuilds, so, just bear with me if something is not nice, it just
works ).

I just modified the
original /usr/portage/gnome-extra/yelp/yelp-2.14.2-r2.ebuild to look like
that. You can just put it in an overlay or something. It work, and now if you
USE="mozilla" you get this.

I dont have gnome or mozilla, so it want to install a bunch of thins, if you
have both, you should not require seamonkey nor firefox now.

If you find it useful, feel free to open a but in bugzilla and feel free to
submit this modiffied ebuild, so it can go into portage and you dont have to
mess with ebuild in the future. I dont know how long mozilla will be in
portage though... I dont like it.

Enjoy, regards.

You could have saved yourself some trouble by reading the ChangeLog
for yelp, which contains:

02 Jul 2006; John N. Laliberte <allanonjl RemoveThis @gentoo.org> -yelp-2.6.5.ebuild,
-yelp-2.10.0.ebuild, +yelp-2.12.2-r1.ebuild, +yelp-2.14.2-r2.ebuild:
convert from mozilla to seamonkey. remove old ebuilds.

So this ebuild used to support mozilla, but it was changed. I wonder why?

This is unlikely, as mozilla is being removed.

Because mozilla is being removed from the tree due to security problems.

Yeah, its true. It was a couple of minutes only, though

That is what I though, as I said, im not a gnome user. So, had no real idea to
make an affirmation. Never cared about mozilla either. I bet that taking a
look at the changelog is far more time consumming than inserting 3 words into
an ebuild

Anyway, there is the ebuild in case someone wants to use it while mozilla is
still in this realm hehe. But I would think about changing to any other
browser-

Jesús.

Thanks for all the informations from Jesús and you.
That was very helpful.

Now I wonder if also mono-tools will be configurable this way soon,
set it is not (as far as I see).

# equery uses mono-tools
[ Searching for packages matching mono-tools... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ No USE flags found for dev-util/mono-tools-1.1.11]


BTW: I just saw that also equery would have given me some infos about
yelp and firefox, but on the other hand 'emerge -uptD world' never gave
that direct dependency information to me.

equery uses yelp
[ Searching for packages matching yelp... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for gnome-extra/yelp-2.12.2 ]
U I
- - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging...
- - firefox : Build against firefox instead of mozilla
