I'd sure buy into this!  After spending hours fumbling
around with linux-jdk ... .  (*mumble*)

It's probably the porters wsho understand what fits
with what and could best put together this kind of
metaport.  echo to stdout things like: "THIS will not
work with THAT because of x, y, z".

Or refuse (unless -f [forced) to portupgrade quasi-stable
versions of linujx-mozilla-devel to non-stable alpha versions.

mozilla metaport ??? [was:] view postscript files from mozilla?

2003-11-30 Thread Peter Ulrich Kruppa
I just wondered, if it would make sense to create some kind of
mozilla metaport (could be called FBSD-mozilla or gnome-mozilla),
that sets up all known plugins, wrappers, fonts - perhaps also
languages and some themes - automagically.

Thus the naive user - like me - could install a fully qualified
and state-of-the-art browser without having to experiment with
different kinds of mozilla with and without linux, jdk's and so
on.

Regards,

Uli.
