Hi, I am trying to upgrade Firefox on a FreeBSD 6 system from Firefox 3.0.x to the current 3.6.x version. First there is no way that I have found for portupgrade/portinstall/make to build the new version before deinstalling the old one, because it is claimed that the new one has files in common with the old one. Of course it has, it is an upgrade, just the package names differ. (Portupgrade wants to upgrade to a newer 3.0.x version, which I don't want) Next, the dependencies are not correctly recorded. So far, I have run into nspr and cairo, of which I have apparently old versions. Configure rejects them, but the minimal version numbers should of course have been recorded in the port's Makefile. There may be more that I run into later; every iteration takes a while. Cheers, -Olaf. --
