Gee, thanks for the blame ;-( The main reason I did not do anything about calendar for 1.3a is that the calendar people at mozilla said tht they were working to integrate the calendar build into the standard mozilla build. What would be best is to take a standard calendar build from 1.2 and make it available as a loadable XPI file. However, when I asked the calendar newsgroup some questions about doing a FreeBSD XPI, I got nothing but resounding silence. I asked some questions about the difference between the Linux, windoze and mac XPI's, and again no one bothered to respond. The mozilla calendar developers do not seem to care about promoting it on other platforms. If you go to the calendar website and look at the detailed examples of how to build it, it is pretty simple to do. In the ports tree, do a "make extract" to get the sources. Go to the work directory and follow the standard mozilla instructions for cvs access (cvs login, etc.) Once you have logged on, you can do a "cvs co mozilla/calendar" to acquire the latest calendar sources. At that point, simply add enable-calendar to the configure args in the port makefile and away you go! I had not planned to do anything further with specific calendar support in 1.3a because of the word from the developers that they were integrating with 1.3 for source release. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
