- Description:
- This is a Linux version of the Netscape suite (Web browser, HTML
editor, mail user agent and news reader). Using the Linux version
on FreeBSD is necessary if you want to use Linux versions of plugins.
Many plugins are distributed only as Linux binaries. The Sun Java
and Macromedia Flash plugins are included. AOL Instant Messenger
is omitted (see ports/net/aim). The Canadian, Latin American and
British region packs, spell-checker, and talkback are enabled.
The Java plugin does not work with linux_base-7, only linux_base-61
or linux_base-62.

Mark forbidden due to security bug. I confirmed the bug with the
English versions of Netscape 6.2.3 and of Netscape 7.0 PR1. Probably
the French, German, and Japanese versions have it as well. |
6.2.3 23 May 2002 14:42:52 |

This bug no longer exists. |

Prepare for Netscape 7 slave port.
Abbreviate paths in MASTER_SITES, to improve readability. Remove
ftp.rediris.es because many files are missing from it. |

Update to 6.2.3. Belatedly, I confirmed that 6.2.2 supports
Greymagic's Mozilla Disk Explorer (http://sec.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ns/)
which demonstrates a security bug. The demo does not work with
6.2.3. I am assuming that the zlib double free() bug, if it existed,
may have been addressed, so I am removing the FORBIDDEN line.
I didn't bother to update the generated files for this release,
since the old ones seem to work fine.
Add hitherto forgotten PKGNAMEPREFIX so the English, French, German
and Japanese versions may all be installed without conflicting. |
6.2.2_1 14 Apr 2002 01:52:33 |
trevor |
Update Japanese, German, and French Netscape ports to version 6.2.2
(the English port was already updated, because Netscape released
that binary before releasing the others).
Install Netscape in a different directory for each different language.
The startup command is now called netscape6english, netscape6french,
and so on, rather than just netscape6. Because of this, I set
PORTREVISION for the English version. |
6.2.2 01 Apr 2002 10:27:59 |

The JRE for version 6.2.2 unpacks in a different directory than
earlier JREs.

Mozilla uses zlib internally, and Netscape 6 is based on Mozilla.
There has been no announcement regarding zlib in Netscape 6. |

Update English Netscape to 6.2.2, with unknown changes. The French,
German and Japanese ones remain at 6.2.1.
Bump PORTREVISION for those, because of change to startup script. |

Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command; the ECHO
macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if make(1) is
invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to the echo command.

Instead of running the browser in order to generate the component.reg and

Correct breakage caused by my hasty addition of DIST_SUBDIR. Add dependency

Add some FTP sites. Add a DIST_SUBDIR, because the name of the distfile
indicates neither the revision nor the language (there are French and Japanese
versions too, and all the distfiles have the same name). Take out a debugging
echo. |
