i have an improved version of the patch that is much cleaner, but still needs some tweaking. for now, i will simply update librewolf as always, using tnhe current design. i'm about to send a simple patch that just updates it to librewolf 155.0.1-1

Hi everyone,





i removed mozconfig, now i generate it programatically









it builds and runs perfectly.

the following patch makes www/librewolf a standalone port, instead of re-using www/mozilla. it's the opposite of what i was going for earlier. librewolf makes a number of extensive changes to firefox, and i want to make a lot more changes in the future to how it builds, in ways that make treading carefully around the www/mozilla architecture a bit troublesome. i removed the policy patch because it's redundant. librewolf already does all of openbsd's hardening. my patch to it only locked the AI settings, but AI is still turned off by default in librewolf. i think the user should have a choice whether to turn it back on if they want to anyway. it's not for me to decide what someone does with their computer, which by extension means their web browser. to make it standalone, i cherry-picked only what i needed from the mozilla/ module i removed some global variables in the makefile (MOZ ones that i had introduced), because they were ugly. the logic now looks more similar to the firefox port this is basically a massive cleanup patch for librewolf. this is how i should have implemented the port originally, and in fact was how i implemented an earlier version of the port before openbsd merged it. i will of course still sync with changes to the firefox port where appropriate, but this new design gives me a lot more flexibility to modify the port without stepping on Landry's toes some of those hardened configure options could be added to the firefox port, and i will investigate this at a later date
