one more thing!
You will see .diff or .patch files in librewolf tarballs. i don't remember which, but it's one of those.
or .orig or something.so like, when librewolf modifies foo.c, they copy the original to foo.c.orig or something.
then you see their modified foo.cyou could automatically scan the librewolf tarball for this. i do this when copying firefox obsd patching, in case i need to do a bit of surgery; so far, this has not been necessary as there are currently no files that both openbsd and librewolf touch.

the mentality is this:* www/firefox is upstream for port purposes; adapt any changes there also applicable to librewolf* keep www/librewolf version always in sync relative to firefox, using librewolf tarballs* adapt any librewolf-specific changes in policy and mozconfig, cross referenced with www/firefoxin this way, we see:the librewolf is identical to firefox, except that it uses the librewolf tarball. i make no more and no fewer changes than necessary. this way, it's as if i am Landry myself, if Landry were maintaining LibreWolf. I just perfectly parrot Landry's brain at all times, adapted for LibreWolf.this mentality matches how LibreWolf itself tracks FireFox upstream. They rebase all their patches per FireFox release, thereby avoiding drift. my workflow in openbsd replicates this precisely, no more no less.Am 24.07.26 um 10:14 schrieb Leah Rowe:Oh, yeah dude, check the Makefile where it replaces mozconfig with the bsd one.Yeah then just check diffs to upstream's mozconfig, versus previous versions. anything they change there can then be added to the bsd one.careful mind, like, sometimes it adds stuff the bsd port already has, e.g. various autohell options.yeah i got some shit to deal with. life shit. business shit. making some changes over coming months and i'm just not focusing on much technical work until its all sorted, ETA october. might be done late august or early to mid september tho.i mean. as long as your updates compile and run you should be set. i literally do just that. monitor upstream mozconfig and policy changes. adapt obsd ff changes. and... bam.then i build it, and after i run: make update-plist make update-patchesthen i might build again, after the fact, but after that, i normally then just submit a patch. i still need to learn how to use cvs too (i normally use git openbsd github mirror)just use my diff updates as reference and you'll see my flow. obsd ports system is whack, but i established a nice workflow thereAm 24.07.26 um 07:00 schrieb [email protected]:På torsdag 23. juli 2026 kl. 21:05, skrev Leah Rowe <[email protected]>:Honestly, I've already mostly dealt with my things. Got some other things. I could probably come back like, today. But you seem to know what you're doing. I'll leave you in charge for a while :)Thanks, I try. Still learning from landry, henderson, et all, and from your initial port and subsequent updates. Good luck with those things and may you be caught up soon. If you get a chance, could you look at the file/mozconfig-openbsd though? That one is the part I am most uncertain about. No hurry. Well wishes and see you on the flip side.Am 23.07.26 um 19:52 schrieb [email protected]:På torsdag 23. juli 2026 kl. 13:14, skrev Leah Rowe <[email protected]>:I am already compiling it on my own, so learning the ropes is alright.Thank you for taking charge of this for me.I'll be back in October again to help again with maintaining this port.I'll probably be back earlier than October, but I say October for safety.

I'll keep an eye on those possible changes. Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what the thread hack was about.Here is near same patch. There were no check diff's from 153.0-1 to 153.0-3.Been using it for a few minutes on sway. Double downloaded the tar, allgood.No regressions that I can find. Happy hacking everyone!
