I've allready some notes on MoFo ports to comment before going on. Mozilla/AVIARY_1_0 - I think that the actual chrome reg must be change: + move the chrome reg code to register.sh so we can share it with ports like enigmail via source/invoke from pkg scripts + use a chrome.d/ for installed-chrome.txt re-generation move initial installed-chrome.txt to chrome.d/00base.chrome use chrome.d/.chrome for aditional chrome use chrome.d/.sed to polite installed-chrome.txt before + maybe some support for prefs components + work some kinda of Makefile.component from the ones out there Mozilla (seamonkey) - add support for localized builds and/or packages this will need generated l10n tarballs from MoFo CVS and maintain it. (low change rate). - take off chazilla support and use and .xpi based approach In the main port or in a separate port (irc/chatzilla) Use the latest stable maintained code Firefox/Thunderbird - While we can't confirm a good .xpi support from AVIARY_1_1, merge register.sh and chrome.d/ from mozilla - Change to new intl support (seems fully functional) and let firefox auto detect LANG - After make this fully functional in seamonkey, merge localized builds and/or packages. - Try to make firefox the default base for gnome browsers, at last, for epiphany. - If we need begin the works for AVIARY_1_1, repocopy in firefox-devel/thunderbird-devel - Think about resurrect the uri-helper port more easy integration with non-gnome desktops -- josemi
