Firefox is installed similar to Mozilla in that its main installation
directory no longer has a Firefox version number in its name. This will
help maintainers of ports that depend on Firefox stay in sync more
easily.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After installing Firefox, you must su - to root, and run ``firefox'' before
running it as any other user. If you do not su - to root, you may lose some
of your user settings. If you try to run Firefox as a normal user without
first running it as root, the browser will not show up. This is a known issue
with Firefox, and they hope to address it in a future release.

Minor fixes by: obraun
been restored, extra knobs have added, and extensive diagnostics have been
added. PLEASE upgrade to this version.
Approved by: kris (part of phoenix upgrade)
* Allow building under -CURRENT.
* Changes in LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS passed to configure.
* Removed stale javascript dirs (venkman) from plist.
* Updated mkdistfile to remove more unneeded dirs. Used to make a
new distfile from a cvs checkout. For maintainers only, really.
* Disable bi-directional text in config.
* Remove dupes from mozconfig.in.
The problem with the martian file selection dialogs is gone. I am not sure of
the cause, but apparently it had to do with either which version of the NSPR
libs phoenix runs with or the link order of libraries. I don't care, as long as
it doesn't do it, 'cause I do not read Martian.
Should be running against its own set of NSPR libs now. (Note: you can't just
use ldd to check this since the startup scripts play all kinds of fun games.)
You are advised to remove $HOME/.phoenix before running the new version.
2. Disable javascript debugger (like we're at a stage where we want to do
that .... hahaha).
3. Remove dupes from files/mozconfig.in.
4. Whack the share and include dirs in a post-install target (I know it's
slower that way, but I'm gonna let Trevor work out how to do it
otherwise, since he so kindly volunteered.)
5. We need an icon for this, people. Any graphics geeks out there?
Thanks to Adam Weinberger for his valuable info about perl versions,
and his continuing research. Thanks to everybody else who's tested, even
if y'all did report the same thing. 8-) Finally, thanks to Warren Zevon,
whose song My ****'s ****ed Up certainly applies to the early stages
of this port.
stating otherwise. I'm trying to get the perl version and File::Spec(imen)
problems ironed out.
Please try this with whatever version of perl you are using and report
back to phoenix@geeksrus.net. Thank you. Don't forget to tell us if you
are doing "use.perl port" or "use.perl system" if you have one of the
ports.

2. Fix plist to catch the missing files/dirs. It should now deinstall
cleanly (it does here, anyway).
2a.The dirs that were created with @exec /bin/mkdir are now removed using
@unexec /bin/rmdir blah/blah || true.
3. Added CONFIG_SH=/bin/sh to mozconfig.in so that we'd all use the same
shell for configuration.
Note: you can use Perl < 5.8, but you need File::Spec for whatever perl
you've got /usr/bin/perl pointing to (or /usr/local/bin/perl, if there is
no /usr/bin/perl [-CURRENT?].
If there were PRs on this, I've forgotten which ones and will close them
out separately. I can do a forced commit on Makefile to relate the PRs,
if any, to the changes.
2. Incorporated my uncommited mods with Trevor's changes.
3. Remade pkg-plist accordingly.
4. Use /usr/bin/perl if present, then /usr/local/bin/perl.
5. Add File::Spec to BUILD_DEPENDS if perl < 5.8.0.
* Fixed problem with reliably finding perl 5.8.0.
* Made build faster.
* Shut up most of the compiler warnings (turned off --pedantic).
* Strip the binaries.
* Saved 2 meg on size of binary package (16M -> 14M).
2. Moved install to ${X11BASE}/lib/phoenix to keep it out of the way
of mozilla, since it uses the same namespace for dirs/files.
3. Link bin/phoenix and bin/phoenix.config into install tree's bin dir.
TO DO: make installation smaller. make distfile smaller. test,test,test.
