Where is firefox?

JT42

JT42

I just did an update to 13.2-RELEASE-p10, rebooted, and then did pkg update and pkg upgrade. That resulted in firefox being uninstalled. When I do pkg search, the only option is firefox-esr. Looking at the firefox entry at Freshports, it appears it's not available in quarterly for amd64, and looking at the firefox entry at portsfallout.com, it appears it's not building correctly. Am I interperting this correctly?

This is my laptop / secondary system that I like to experiment on first before updating my main desktop system.

Me too, but a fresh instalation of 14.0-RELEASE , I think that is temporal, only firefox-esr
firefox is still in the ports tree
soon will be appear again in pkg
 
firefox 123 does not build as the Libm gets lost in the process. I forced-add libm to it and the result was that it did not
play streaming video. So it needs to be "healed" im using Firefox-esr now.

"How to fix this is up to gecko@: either revert/adjust the version check or backport
libvpx 1.14.0 by fixing merge conflicts and doing limited QA on /quarterly."

gecko@ here www/firefox port MAINTAINER= gecko@FreeBSD.org
 
I'm using latest rather than quarterly, and it's in there. Also doing a dry run of pkg upgrade doesn't show it being removed or replaced. This is 14-RELEASE.

  • present in quarterly but not latest for FreeBSD:14:amd64

For FreeBSD:15:amd64 there was a recent absence, it was not long-lasting; <https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/645205>.

Yes, i use - amd64

Check some details from you, i read manual(26.2.3. Performing Minor and Major Version Upgrades).
But tell please, for best understanding.

FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE Announcement Date: November 20, 2023

December 2023, January 2024, February 2024 - i use "latest" and install all packages

Information from <https://www.freshports.org/x11/kde5/#packages>
1709408637832.png


March 2024 now and beyond - switch on "quarterly" this is a good idea for doesn't have to avoid a situation where a package will be deleted when installing the desired package.

After 3 month, more good switch on "quarterly" ?

I hope, you understand, what i mean and what my question )

forums.freebsd.org forums.freebsd.org

For latest:
You may as well continue with latest. Be patient for availability of a package. Deletion of Firefox is extraordinary.
 
Just for what it's worth, after I lost libreoffice (using latest) and all fcitx5 packages are missing (less of a problem, they weren't removed, just none are available for now on latest).
Someone on the forums has a sig, I think, experience is the worst teacher, it gives the test before the lessong, but anyway, now I know.
So I run
Code: 
 pkg upgrade |tee pkg.txt

As even on a large screen if there's a lot of stuff it can scroll out of sight. Then, I just run less or more pkg.txt and I can see if anything I need is being removed. It is infrequent, and I haven't lost firefox, but anyway, this makes it a little less likely that I'll do something stupid.

In my somewhat arrogant opinion, it's a good habit to get into, because otherwise, one just tends assume (with all that implies--for those less familiar with English, there's an old saying, Assume makes an Ass of U and ME--it will be fine because it usually is.
