DetailsDescription:
It seems the development on this library ceased in 2011. Nothing in Arch repo depends on it now. I couldn't find current consumers of it on AUR via Google search. A few earlier AUR consumers (spotify, icaclient, bin32-firefox, acroread) have dropped this as a dependency in 2015. From Wikipedia: Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI#cite_ref-:0_1-0 "NPAPI support among major browsers started to wane since 2015 and it was gradually deprecated over the last years.[1] With the advent of HTML5, all major web browsers have removed support for 3rd party NPAPI plugins for security reasons.[1] There are some smaller browsers such as Pale Moon and Waterfox Classic that still support NPAPI plugins." [1]: https://www.infoq.com/news/2021/03/end-of-applets/ Oracle has deprecated and removed the Java Applet API, which was its NPAPI client interface, in 2021: https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/398 I've checked: Pale Moon and Waterfox do not need [nspluginwrapper]. |
