#2968 closed enhancement (duplicate)

NEW: firefox

Reported by: sergtrejo@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.0

Port:

Description

firefox

the portfile can be found here: ATTACHED

Description: Firefox Worldwide Web user agent (browser)

Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Comments: This is a new port that I've been working on and I need help testing it. It works on my Mac G4 but would appreciate feedback from others to make sure it works just fine. Also, the configuration file ".mozconfig" is treated differently than most Darwin Ports (this configure file I have pre-authored and is included as a patch), and I have not added variants yet to this port and thus variants will be required if one desires to change the configuration (my guess is that reinplace should be used with variants to modify the .mozconfig patch file after the patch phase).

there is a lack of a cvs login somwhere

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot

but I don't know how to enter the empty password automatically

I just built it on OpenDarwin, looks good

I would only add this at the end of post-destroot

cd $destroot/$prefix/bin && ln -s ../firefox/firefox

comment:4 Changed 20 years ago by yves@…

there is one more thing ...

lib:libgdk_pixbuf.2:gdk-pixbuf

this library is provided by gtk2, not gdk-pixbuf

it would also be good to have a look at http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2522

Hey guys, what's the story on Firefox for dp? Guys in bug #2552 were also working in a Portfile for this, so it'd be great if you all could work together on it. Between Yve's latest changes to Sergio's work and Sven's latest additions to Arthur's bug (#2552), can we come up with a single Portfile that we can commit to our repo? Who's willing to maintain? All of you four (Sergio, Yves, Arthur and Sven)? ;-)

Regards and thanks for this great effort!

Hello,

You can count me out as I simply don't have time for dp right now nor in the future.

This is mostly Sergio's work, so I guess he can be the maintainer, though I'm always open to help
