Here is a quick survey of binary packages for the two full-featured browsers I use, for my three favourite operating systems:
Code:
NetBSD/i386
-----------
2013Q2
firefox 22.0 42 MB
seamonkey missing
2013Q1
firefox 19.0.2 28 MB
xulrunner-19.0.2nb1 36 MB
seamonkey 2.16.nb1 45 MB
OpenBSD/i386
------------
firefox-18.0.2p0 22 MB
seamonkey-2.15.2 27 MB
Linux/i386
----------
firefox-23.0.1 25 MB
seamonkey-2.20 27 MB
Questions:
1) Why is there no binary package for seamonkey in the latest NetBSD pkgsrc ?
2) The latest NetBSD binary packages available for both these browsers are just huge compared to both OpenBSD and Linux. If one were to go back a little further in the versions available, the gap would not be that big. What happened?
Thanks for any insights.
