Description Zombie Ryushu 2014-08-22 12:14:42 CEST

evince-browser-plugin provides a document viewer plugin for Mozilla based browsers like Firefox. It uses the Evince libraries, so any document formats it supports can be viewed through the plugin. The two most common document formats are PDF and Postscript, allowing it to be used like the Adobe Reader product.

One important note is that as of Firefox version 11, only GTK+ version 2 plugins are supported. This means that evince-browser-plugin must use Evince version 2 libraries if it's intended to be used with Firefox.

If necessary, pull from the git repo.

git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/evbp

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Since Firefox 52 (March 2017) NPAPI plugins are no longer supported.

Closing INVALID.
