Description dgerow 2005-05-21 06:50:02 UTC
When running linux-firefox and linux-flashplugin7, the links to enable the
plugin must be created manually, as the provided 'linkfarm' utility only looks
for linux-flashplugin6.  Note that concessions also need to be made for
linux-flashplugin, but those are not made here.

The utility also doesn't get rid of stale links, which prohibits someone from
easily swapping, say, flashplugin versions: as each version makes the same
softlink within /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-firefox/plugins, and as linkfarm does
not remove old links, new ones cannot be created.

Fix: Patch below adds support for www/linux-flashplugin7, and also removes stale
links within the plugin directory:
How-To-Repeat: Install www/linux-flashplugin7.  Run linkfarm.  Watch as it doesn't enable
the plugin.

linkfarm file is generated from port Makefile, so can you please provide 
patch for port Makefile? Also, I'm not sure if deleting all symlinks is 
desirable, what if someone makes a symlink by hand there?
