-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone,
I just stumbled upon the ports for firefox and thunderbird, and thought this would be an easy way to ensure I always have a recent version on each machine, where port upgrade outdated is run periodically. But they are, how to put this delicately, stinking old? Or am I missing something here? > $ port info thunderbird-x11 firefox-x11 thunderbird-x11 @2.0.0.22 > (mail, x11) Variants: debug, universal > > Description: Thunderbird makes emailing safer, faster and > easier than ever before with the industry's best implementations of > features such as intelligent spam filters, a built-in spell > checker, extension support, and much more.

TB 2.0 is from 2007, FF 7 is from 2001. If these are the actual versions, I do not want to know how many critical bugs have been fixed since... Of course it would be nice if someone would step up and maintain them. I'm lacking both time and experience. Regards, Johannes - -- What is comedy?
