Sorry I know the preferred method is via GitHub pull requests.
But shortly after getting an account on GitHub a couple 3 years
ago. I was unable to login. After some 30 days with tech support
and no progress. I asked them to delete it.
I don't have this problem with GitLab or Codeberg.
Anyway. Please find attached 2 git(1) diff's;
1) www/firefox-esr (www-firefox-esr.diff
2) www/firefox (www-firefox.diff)
In the case of firefox-esr, it's only "phase 1". I was able to
eliminate all the errors emanating from the patches in files/.
But as this is a fresh install on my laptop:
( MidnightBSD 2.1.0 #2 29cf808604(stable/2.1)-dirty:
Mon Sep 20 18:25:51 EDT 2021 root at m2164:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 )
which isn't up to porting/development standards, This is as far
as I can go till I can whip it into shape. I've been maintaining
some 160 FreeBSD ports for around 7 years now. So this isn't
unfamiliar territory. ;-) Tho there are some subtle differences.
Which brings me to www/firefox. This one now builds and runs. But
not w/o problems. So more investigation with firefox itself. To
determine if it's just firefox or mports.
Lastly; multimedia/x265 (a depends of multimedia/ffmpeg) a depends
of firefox. Is a *very* unhappy port; dumping 10's of thousands of
warnings for Bad Macro definitions. I mention it; as it may relate
to the firefox unhappiness.
That's it.
Thanks! :-)
