I'm sharing my partial work here, if anyone is interested: https://github.com/madpilot78/ports-midori-overlay The README.md there contains an explanation of the main problem, short version: the update mostly works, creating a usable browser, but it just looks like it is firefox nightly. Upstream has no build instructions, and their public repo lags behind some internal one. I'll remove xfce@ maintainership from the midori port later, if anyone is interested in creating a proper update and needs a committer I can try to help, although I am quite happy with firefox as a browser. -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
