Robert Clausecker <fuz@fuz.su> has asked freebsd-gecko (Nobody) <gecko@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 257084: www/firefox-esr: fix build when archivers/star is installed. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257084 --- Description --- Created attachment 226326 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=226326&action=edit www/firefox-esr: do not use gnutar over tar archivers/star installs a binary named gnutar which is not sufficiently GNU tar compatible to work with this build scipt. Make sure the build scripts use /usr/bin/tar as a tar program and not some random other command on the system. This addresses an issue reported in bug #257063 where the newly updated archivers/star port now installs a binary named gnutar. As an additional measure against such surprises, archivers/star will be changed to make installing a gnutar binary a non-default option.
