Hello Howard, Thank you very much for replying, I sent the following to his reply; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you very much for the reply and information. Do you have any documentation on the process so that I could get up to date and see where I could help? Perhaps a TODO etc? I don't want to start doing work that's already been done =D. On a side note, a goal of mine would be to have firefox-nightly on the actual ports tree however, perhaps there are valid reasons as to why that's not currently the case. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for your particular issue, are these issues being tracked on the build system? I am trying to get a feel of the work flow the FreeBSD gecko builders use to compile it etc. Thank you. -- Adrian J Fernandez [:Aj] | MOC | Mozilla On 03/26/2014 10:45, Howard Goldstein wrote: > On 03/19/2014 18:36, Adrian J Fernandez wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I am a system's administrator @ Mozilla.
