Firefox 3.6 was committed by beat@ latest night, we’re happy to got all finish before the ports tree is going in the slush mode to prepair packages for FreeBSD 7.3 Release. Please read careful ports/UPDATING. We’d like to say thanks to all helpers and submitters, and a special big thanks to nox for his great debug session to fix our [...]

Howdy, We know that a lot people are waiting for Firefox 3.6, but nox@ found a strange bug which is now solved. The problem was that starting Firefox 3.6 with certain addons installed was not possible. Now it looks like all problems are solved and we can start a CFT. If everything works fine we plan to commit Firefox 3.6 next weekend. [...]

Here is a small Status update about our work on gecko stuff: beat@ already removed all references to www/mozilla. Also the switch from USE_GECKO= xulrunner firefox mozilla to USE_GECKO= libxul is mostly done. Some small parts are still in the tree and we are working on them. Afterwards xulrunner will be removed. Finally the first steps for upcoming Thunderbird3 and [...]

Howdy, beat@ want some tester for SeaMonkey 2.0 here a full quota: A few days ago SeaMonkey 2.0 has been released. To install SeaMonkey 2.0 a modified bsd.gecko.mk is needed. Therefore we are not able to commit it to the ports tree until the tree is unfreezed. So now we are looking for tester/reviewer of the SeaMonkey 2.0 port. The port is [...]

So beat@ did the Gecko job more or less alone . So I thought it’s a good idea to help a bit the KDE Team.. I’ve started with a rework of the area51 repo. We splitted now Qt and KDE into 2 seperated repo’s. Makes the life a bit easier in future. Also I rewrote the build system [...]

Goals: Removal of mozilla, nvu, xulrunner and firefox2. www/firefox35 should be moved to www/firefox. The options USE_GECKO mozilla nvu xulrunner and firefox will be also removed. Background: We have a lot of old stuff on the portstree and it’s time to cleanup old stuff. www/mozilla is 5 year old now, no longer supported by upstream, and has many many vulnerabilities. We [...]

At the beginning of this month we Called for Testing of the new Qt-4.5 for FreeBSD, most dependency ports build and work fine but unfortunately py-qt4 from the portstree failed, we have now to wait for the KDE 4.3 release to upgrade to Qt-4.5, py-qt-4.5, and KDE 4.3. [...]

Yesterday Firefox 3.5 was released, and few hours later it was in the Portstree. But I see that some pepole can’t right read. So Please READ the pkg-messages carefully: Firefox 3.5 and HTML5 Certain functions used to display HTML5 elements need the sem module. If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a HTML5 page: “Bad system call (core dumped)” you need [...]

Howdy, Yesterday FF3.5 RC1 was released! Unfortunately RC1 need a newer version of devel/nspr, we already updated devel/nspr and it seems to be work all fine. If you like to play with both updates you can try following patch [1]. I need to make a exp-run request for this update to make sure nothing will be failed.
