P.S.
What the heck are you going to do with firefox on a box lacking
network access?
off the top of my head: operative phrase possibly being "right now",
it can be a real annoyance to have to wait until net access is
available and then install all of firefox before using it. or to read
documentation or other reports generated locally. or because not all
nets are the internet.
there's no counting the number of times i've used a computer without a
decent browser and wished it had one, but i've never used a computer
that had firefox installed where i regretted that fact and wished it
hadn't. putting it on a machine even if you can't anticipate a need
for it is a good idea.
You are probably right, there seem to be several good reasons.
Either way, may P.S. wasn't meant to insult the OP, sorry if it
felt like that; Dorian definitely asked an interesting question.
No prob, let's take taxipilot as an example :)
I tried some of the suggested hints, but haven't found for example nspr
end up in the package cache, some other deps might also be missing,
desktop-file-utils didn't want to install at all, looks like something's
broken in the snapshot...
I'll give it another try tomorrow.
However, during pkg_add -nv dbus- I felt like seeing some
useradd/groupadd commands fly by, I'll drop an extra eye on that.
