They're used when building x11/vlc's mozilla plugin which is something that I'm working on.
Re: NEW: www/mozilla-seamonkey 1.0.6
Fascinating... so mozilla gets bloated to the point where no-one wants it, so they split it into firefox and thunderbird so that people don't get the bloat, and now people complain that stuff is not *integrated* so they put the bloat back together and label it `seamonkey'. Oh yes, and if we use the wrong name and build `official' releases, we get a bad rep (but then, we don't really care at this point. OpenBSD is not known for playing into political games...) Is this it ? am I missing some insight ?

This should positioned as a replacement for the old mozilla suite (www/mozilla) with a -devel subpackage and updates to www/galeon and www/epiphany to use it. My next update to eclipse will be able to use seamonkey to build, so there's no need to update that. Actually I'm planning on adding a firefox -devel package at some point and switching eclipse over to use that instead. If you update your diff to include a -devel subpackage and create diffs for galeon and ephiphay to use it, I think this would be a worthwhile addition to the ports tree. -Kurt

NEW: www/mozilla-seamonkey 1.0.6
latest -stable mozilla seamonkey (the next generation suite) version 1.0.6 (equivalent to the 1.5.0.8 releases of firefox/thunderbird), -current required, switched over to use devel/nspr, should build/run wherever firefox/thunderbird does, basically the same set of patches, same version of gecko, etc. as previously stated, the README.OpenBSD needs work. port also needs testing on something other than i386 (all i have at the moment). There may be some no longer necessary patches and some of the files installed into ${LOCALBASE}/mozilla-seamonkey are really only needed for development. go to http://blogs.loveandnature.co.za/www/openbsd-ports/archives/cat_seamonkey.html or mail me to comment/insult/rant/rave. thanks. (and yes, as soon as i've tested the nss and firefox2 ports i'll create a seamonkey1.1 port). - james www_mozilla-seamonkey106.tgz Description: Binary data
