I looked at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk and discovered that the value 36+ was no longer listed, so much for backward compatibility with ports, but fair enough. Based on this I changed the value of USE_FIREFOX to 10+, but that didn't make things any better: ===> py27-selenium-2.21.3 cannot install: Firefox versions mismatch: firefox-12 is installed and wanted version is firefox-10+. *** Error code 1 Stop in /home/douglas/freebsd/www/py-selenium. *** Error code 1 Stop in /home/douglas/freebsd/www/py-selenium. That definitely doesn't seem right! I tried 12 and 12+ and they both worked okay, but the port should also support the Firefox 10 line. It looks like my port is the only one so far to even use the + functionality so I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this. I'm also a bit puzzled at the choice of 10 rather than 10+ for USE_FIREFOX= yes. >How-To-Repeat: Write a port with USE_FIREFOX set to 10+ and try to build it on a system with Firefox 12 installed. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
