264410 - freebsd ports patches integration tracking

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

I was just pointed to a number of patches that the freebsd guys are maintaining
for Firefox at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/firefox/files/ --
most of the patches are to xpcom and nspr for freebsd support on various 64-bit
platforms (alpha, amd64, ia64, sparc64).  These should get reviewed and checked
in to the tree, as appropriate.

See also http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/mozilla/files/ and
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/mozilla-devel/files/ which are
"latest release" and "latest bleeding edge release" respectively (~ stable and
trunk).

Can someone make sure those are reflected in Mozilla bugs?  I'm afraid my brain
is not big enough to track anything outside bugzilla these days, though I do
cringe a little at asking people to do that given the history of these bugs and
neglect, likely at my sucky hands.

Requesting blanket aviary+ for freebsd ports changes, etc. etc.

I doubt this will make firefox 1.0; it's too close, plus there's nspr/xpcom
changes that would need to be applied to aviary, 1.7, etc.  Probably best to
just do it on trunk and shoot for 1.1.

Mass abdication.
