Description threadpanic 2023-08-04 16:41:00 UTC
Hi all, 

The Gitlab repository of this port seems to have been deleted by accident. At the time of writing, the FreeBSD port seems abandoned. Is there a way we can restart this and start making updates+creating a new repo, probably.

Is there a replacement repository that could be used?
Comment 2 threadpanic 2023-08-05 07:25:09 UTC
We can create a new empty repository for it and populate it with the contents of the www/librwolf folder contents, but all tickets and history is gone. 

We're currently hosted by Gitlab, but are in to process of moving to Codeberg.org, so I guess the easiest thing to do is to just create that new repository there.

Replacement repository up at:

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/freebsd

It's mostly tickets about finding out what happened at the moment..

Seems to be there? https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source

I would however argue that we should remove the port unless someone (tm) steps up to maintain it as outdated browsers are bad.

Submitter is a librewolf developer.  I think the repository that was removed held FreeBSD-specific patches for the browser.
Comment 6 threadpanic 2023-08-10 05:02:33 UTC
Yes, we're aware that Librewolf is out of date on Freebsd. 

I was thinking of taking up the Freebsd port myself, if the previous maintainer doesn't come forward. I know Freebsd reasonably well, so I think I can do it.

The repository that was deleted contained the Freebsd specific stuff and tickets. The main source repository is still valid, but we're moving to Codeberg anyway.

Gitlab is still good for download source code for librewolf.
Actualy i am working on new version but i have problem with extra big patch.
Can be close.
