[PRQ#54102] Merge Request for widevine
MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge widevine [2] into chromium- widevine [3]: Eliminating dupication. 'widewine' was submitted to AUR in 2015, 'chromium-widewine' in 2023. 'chromium' in the pkgname is an essential differentiator, as both packages are only for Chromium-based browsers, i.e. this widevine plugin is not compatible with e.g. Firefox.

If you would have bothered reading even just the description line of this package, you would have seen that it *does* work for firefox. If I have the time, I'd even like to expand it to others, e.g. Vivaldi, as well. If anything, this merge request should be the other way around! NB: I'm currently not subscribed to this mailing list; just saw the merge request email in my inbox just now. On 23/02/2024 07:32, notify@aur.archlinux.org wrote:
