Description:

Up till now the vlc package did not provide the Mozilla browser plugin because users want to decide which browser plugins shall be installed and maintaining a separate package was to much hassle. This should be now problem any more since pacman is now able to handle split packages. (The vlc-plugin package has 186 votes in AUR now.)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
vlc 1.0.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.
patch attached

   PKGBUILD-split.patch (2 KiB)

Small glitch: One more line like this
install=
should be added to package_vlc_mozilla_plugin() to get rid of the install script which is needed for the main package only.

or maybe get rid of the global install and move it to package_vlc()
