Should there be a difference if I haven't botched the source tree for
/usr/ports at some point?
firefox --version
tells me
Mozilla Firefox 31.0
(It also gives a warning about size mismatch in a couple of c++ libraries
and says I should relink the program, which is part of the message it sends
to the console every time I run it. I'vd been ignoring that message.)
And
pkg_add -u firefox
just talks to itself, then says
quirks-2.9 signed on 2014-08-02T11:06:132
but
cd /usr/ports/www/firefox-esr
make -n
tells me
lock=firefox-esr-31.5.3
Without the -n, it would try to install firefox 31.5.3, but break on lack
of disk space for installing gcc 4.8.3. I installed gcc-4.8.3 from
packages, but the make process didn't see that, and still tried to install
it again. (gcc --version from the command line says 4.2.1.)
I've grabbed some space on another disk, changed /etc/fstab to mount those
partitions and rebuilt src and xenocara in nice roomy partitions there.
(Man, putting the src tree on a separate disk sure speeds cvs updates and
builds up like crazy!) /usr/ports is just sitting there after a cvs up to
stable (-rOPENBSD_5_6).
And I'm hesitating before building firefox from source again.
