https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274730 Bug ID: 274730 Summary: [NEW PORT] www/chromium-widevine slave port with DRM module enabled Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ehaupt@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 245879 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=245879&action=edit www/chromium-widevine including conflicts registration on master port With the introduction of the WIDEVINE option in www/chromium, FreeBSD users can now consume DRM-protected content, such as Spotify and Netflix. While the use of DRM modules is certainly a controversial topic, it makes sense to have this option disabled by default. However, many users are willing to use it and, therefore, are required to build the Chromium package themselves, as it is not built on the package cluster with this option enabled. May I propose the creation of a slave port (www/chromium-widevine) similar to shells/bash-static, which would allow regular package updates from the pkg cluster? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
