[OpenIndiana-discuss] Has anyone successfully built a new firefox on OI?

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi Richard and Apostolos,
maybe we can add a wiki page and open a task on the openindiana tracker to
follow the progress and dependencies.

I see that for the latest esr31, sqlite3 needs an upgrade as we have 3.7.17
in hipster and the requirement is (sqlite3 >= 3.8.4.2).

Best regards

Aurelien
