From: Steve Wills To: "David W. Chapman Jr." Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/33521: mozilla port doesn't build irc client ChatZilla Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 00:45:51 -0500 I was thinking about this and realized, the port should probably do what the default build does, and wondered why the default build doesn't build ChatZilla. I found out that the reason its not a default part of Mozilla is because the developer of ChatZilla wants it that way. So, I take it all back. :) Lets just make it a knob as was suggested.
