Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gecko (Nobody) <gecko@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 257140: mail/thunderbird and www/firefox install two executables https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257140 --- Description --- Both ports install a pair of identical executables: ${PREFIX}/lib/${port}/${port} and ${PREFIX}/lib/${port}/${port}-bin. For example: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 532976 Jul 12 13:28 /opt/lib/firefox/firefox -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 532976 Jul 12 13:28 /opt/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 708872 Apr 18 22:47 /opt/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 708872 Apr 18 22:47 /opt/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin If one of them is not actually used, then it should not be installed at all. If both are used (due to bugs in upstream scripts), then the two incarnations ought to be made a hard link.
