Wonderfull thank you for the offer. OK First you will need a copy of oi-userland [0] setup inside a machine dedicated for building packages. It is recomended to use any virgin zone and install "metapackages/build-essential" package inside. For a detailed guide on how to use OI userland look at [1]. The Pull request containing Firefox 60 is [2]. You can use the official guide from github at [3] to checkout that pr into a local git branch.
After you have checked out the PR into a local branch it's as simple as export OI_USERLAND_ROOT="/path/to/oi-userland" cd $OI_USERLAND_ROOT gmake setup #must be made in the toplevel directory cd components/web/firefox/ gmake env-prep gmake publish This will create a firefox package inside the repository $OI_USERLAND_ROOT/i386/repo Add it to the systems known list of publishers/repository with pkg set-publisher -g $OI_USERLAND_ROOT/i386/repo userland and then install it via pkg install -v "pkg://userland/web/browser/firefox pkg://userland/web/data/firefox-bookmarks" It may be the case that you need to loosen the version lock on userland incorporation in order to be able to install firefox from userland publisher. you can do that with: pkg change-facet facet.version-lock.web/browser/firefox=false pkg change-facet facet.version-lock.web/data/firefox-bookmarks=false [0] https://github.com/openindiana/oi-userland [1] https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-userland [2] https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/4656 [3] https://help.github.com/en/articles/checking-out-pull-requests-locally Let me know if you need anymore help to get started with the contribution process.
