Title: LastPass package migration
Author: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2016-05-08
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: app-admin/lastpass

LastPass-3 and earlier versions installed browser extensions along
with the necessary binary components. LastPass-4 and later versions
install only the binary components and leave installing the browser
extensions to the user. Furthermore, LastPass-3 is not available
anymore, it will be removed soon and users are required to upgrade. A
transparent package move is not possible due to the mentioned changes
and a manual migration is required.

The currently installed package must be removed before proceeding with
the migration:

  emerge --unmerge --ask app-admin/lastpass

LastPass for Firefox users can safely upgrade to version 4 by visiting
the official LastPass website and following the download instructions.
The browser extension already contains the required binary components.
No packages need to be installed.

Users of Chrome/Chromium and Opera browsers need to switch to
app-admin/lastpass-binary-features and follow the instructions
displayed on the screen after the installation to complete the process.

I proxy the commits for you, so you should be listed as well (multiple
author tags are permitted in the spec), and ahead of my name.

Otherwise it's fine from my perspective, but somebody else should review
it.

For Chromium, is there supposed to be a plugin listed in
chrome://plugins after installation? Supposedly I enabled native
messaging for the plugin but nothing for LastPass is listed at
chrome://plugins.

Actually I think I got it. Once you do everything correctly, and you go to

chrome://extensions/?options=hdokiejnpimakedhajhdlcegeplioahd (LastPass
extension options)

under 'Advanced', you will not see a link to install the binary
component anymore.

Every version, forever, even for new installs made next year?

The instructions say to unmerge it manually, so why is this a problem?

If the package is brought back again due to future upstream changes,
then the news item should be dropped.

Right. You can find the list by listing the contents of
'/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/'. For LastPass, we install a file
named 'com.lastpass.nplastpass.json' that defines which extensions are
allowed to talk to the binary component.
