Here is a small Status update about our work on gecko stuff:
beat@ already removed all references to www/mozilla. Also the
switch from USE_GECKO= xulrunner firefox mozilla to USE_GECKO= libxul
is mostly done. Some small parts are still in the tree and we
are working on them. Afterwards xulrunner will be removed.
Finally the first steps for upcoming Thunderbird3 and SeaMonkey2
has been committed. We plan to start a CFT in the next days for
new firefox3.6 and Thunderbird3.

Our plan was to kill www/firefox and follow the release numbers
(www/firefox3 = firefox-3.0.X, www/firefox35 = firefox 3.5.X etc..).
But we think that confuses our users so we changed our plan:
www/firefox get the current Stable Release (Plan is to update it
with 3.6, once it is released). If a new version will be released
we will create firefox3X to hold the version until the end of life
the support time. With the release of Firefox 3.6, Firefox 3 will
be end of life so we will remove www/firefox3.

With the release of SeaMonkey2 the support for SeaMoneky 1 was
dropped. We plan to update linux-seamonkey and seamoneky to the
same time. But there are a few open tasks until we are ready to
commit. If you can’t wait with testing of all the new toys you
can try to checkout the gecko repository and play with that. But
note if anything breaks for you that’s not our fault . And if
you want to help you can see our open tasks on our wiki page .

Have fun!

So FreeBSD 8.0 was now officially released, and the ports tree was now
opened.

I’ve taken the night and updated python to 2.6.4.

Also as i wrote, I am back to the KDE game,
we have updated Qt to 4.5.3.

fluffy@ spend a lot time to update py-qt4 which is
now 4.6.2, and py-sip is 4.9.3

and as finally we updated KDE to 4.3.3

here is the commit log:

The KDE FreeBSD team is proud to announce the release of KDE 4.3.3
for FreeBSD.

For lists of bugfixes and improvements please see:

The KDE FreeBSD team would like to say thanks to all the helpers
and submitters.

Oh and I’d like to say many many thx to the great KDE FreeBSD Team which
has done a great job

Howdy,

beat@ want some tester for SeaMonkey 2.0
here a full quota:

A few days ago SeaMonkey 2.0 has been released. To install SeaMonkey 2.0
a modified bsd.gecko.mk is needed. Therefore we are not able to commit
it to the ports tree until the tree is unfreezed. So now we are looking
for tester/reviewer of the SeaMonkey 2.0 port.

The port is available in our SVN repository:

# svn co
http://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/experimental/www/seamonkey-devel

The modified bsd.gecko.mk could be downloaded here:
http://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/experimental/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk

A screenshot of SeaMonkey 2.0 running on FreeBSD is available here:

Happy Testing

Here is a patch to update python to 2.6.4 and py-setuptools (thx to wen@), it seems all fine to me,
i’ve already update locally without any problems, tinderbox run was also fine and dependency ports
builds without problems. If you like to test the patch feel free and fetch it from here.

If you find any problems with my patch feel free to ping me on
irc/jabber .

Happy Testing!
