the exact names of the freebl libraries depends on the platform and they
have a habit of changing even on minor releases. This causes these mozilla
packages to be broken quite a lot on platforms other than NetBSD/i386.
Hopefully this fix will last longer than previous ones. pkgrevision bumps
all around.

talking to ipv4 addresses using ipv6 addresses isn't allowed, which is
the default on NetBSD. Patch to use a v4 socket when talking to an ipv4
ldap server. Fixes my PR 33511.
seamonkey/firefox/sunbird have the same code so make the same patch.
OKed ghen. Bump PKGREVISION.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

What's New in Firefox 1.5
Firefox 1.5 is the next version of our award-winning Web browser.
Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5:
* Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an
update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a
megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
* Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward
button performance.
* Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
* Improvements to popup blocking.
* Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove
personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
* Answers.com is added to the search engine list.
* Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages,
redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and "Safe Mode" experience.
* Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and
assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader
for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available
information in applications and documents or show the information on a
Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use
equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
* Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not
working in Firefox.
* Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile
migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer.
* New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and
JavaScript 1.6.
* Many security enhancements.

* Fix to prevent URLs passed from external programs from being
parsed by the shell (Linux only)

script that uses an "eval" statement
* Fix to restore InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors
* Other stability and security fixes
Approved by taya.
registration out of the installation step and into the INSTALL script.
Also, remove the registration commands from the PLIST as well. Putting
them into the INSTALL script allows for the same commands to be run
in the same way, so that there are fewer differences between installing
from source and installing from a binary package. Also, this makes
these packages pass CHECK_FILES=yes. Bump the PKGREVISION of firefox,
firefox-gtk1, mozilla, and mozilla-gtk2.
Also, include bsd.pkg.mk from the package Makefiles, not from within
Makefile.common. This is a style issue and allows for appending to
variables originally defined in Makefile.common from the package
Makefile.
