So we are now working on 8.0-current in the head > branch, and 8.0-stable in cvs OPENBSD_8_0. understood. as i said, it's no problem if this doesn't go in -release, i can backport to -stable later on. firefox also gets backported to -stable for updates, alongside -current. i'll just sync with ff updates like i do in -current. i do need to set up a -stable openbsd machine when 8.0 comes out. i normally only use -current in the past > I'm not using librewolf, but fwiw, if I did, I'd find it annoying to > lose the local-only translations stuff (I'd much prefer that stuff > to run locally than send it to google or whoever). > > i don't think translations/pdfalttext are disabled outright, i think it's just the AI bits. my port turns off AI entirely, in librewolf. the firefox port also disabled AI, based on config provided by the justthebrowser project. i do the same in librewolf. i don't think we should be putting strain on electricity and water needlessly in the browser. i think it's better than we don't become part of the problem. all the mainstream projects are hyping up AI, but this is openbsd. we run our own race. of course, the ports system is open to anyone to modify. users can just re-build librewolf if they wish to have this turned on by default. i should also say: actually building from source is not required, if the user wants to change this. they can use the binary package, and then modify their own local installation of the policy. this is just the policy that goes in /usr/local, which the user can modify. the actual binary still has these features available, unmodified except by virtue of the policy, which the browser interprets on startup. modifying the policy can also be done to e.g. enable wivedine/eme.
