I’ll answer inline.

There are some bugs in the 0.8 version of mport due to bugs in the port to libdispatch.  This is being worked on.  While irritating, updating individual packages seems to work more reliably.

Are there any errors before it reboots?

No, it does not do that currently.  That’s a good idea to add to the mport program.

This is due to a bug in the linux emulation as well as the glibc version used.  It needs to be fixed, but getting a native firefox or seamonkey port working again would be more useful.  For the linux emulation, we really need to emulate a newer linux kernel and add several system calls. Then we could update the fedora libraries and newer versions of firefox and seamokey would work.

Normally what we do for new developers is have them do a few patches and submit them for inclusion.  If everything goes well, subversion access is given to the repository to check in code yourself.  

I’d suggest updating an easier port first as these are all very big and require quite a few patches.  (for the native ports)  If you’re talking about linux versions, that is much easier to update, but you need to do testing to make sure it will work with our older fedora libraries.  

The first step is usually to set a variable in /etc/make.conf    
MPORT_MAINTAINER_MODE=yes

When you do this, it does additional checks to validate that your packages are working correctly.  You won’t want to leave it like this all the time, just when you are working on packages. The big difference is that it runs an extra target, check-fake that validates a package was installed in the way that the pkg-plist file suggests. 

You can read about mports here http://www.midnightbsd.org/documentation/mports/index.html <http://www.midnightbsd.org/documentation/mports/index.html>  and also check out the fake link on there.  

There are some helper scripts for porting here http://www.midnightbsd.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/mports/trunk/Tools/scripts/ <http://www.midnightbsd.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/mports/trunk/Tools/scripts/> but you don’t need to use them to do updates.  When you check out mports, you should see the Tools directory on disk.  You’ll want to check out the latest version before you start.  

I’d suggest picking a port to update that doesn’t many many dependencies for your first one.  Something in shells, archivers, editors, sysutils or devel are often good choices. 

You would make changes to the files and then generate a patch by using the diff utility with the changes.  Something like diff -urN .  within the directory would generate a patch.  You probably want to run make clean before doing this so you don’t bring in all the source code from the app.  

In order for a package to know what to install, the pkg-plist file must contain all the files you want to install.  You can generate one as a starting point (it will need cleanup) by running  make makeplist and it will generate a new file gen-plist that you can work from.  This is useful if it’s a big change or you’re not sure what changed.  You can compare the file to the pkg-plist already present on an existing port.  If it’s a new port, you would do this as a first step.  

You could try to create a libreoffice port or linux-libreoffice. I haven’t looked into that much.  The linux-openoffice3 port needs updating too.  

As for firefox and seamonkey, native versions require patches for OS name/version checks as well as the nspr, nss and ca_root_nss ports updated.  If you were to try to port firefox 57, we’d also need a rust port.  Older versions wouldn’t need rust.  

If you have specific questions or want me to find a port for you to update as a start, please ask.  You can also join our IRC chat on freenode #midnightbsd  and ask questions.
