The archive contains a port of
SeaMonkey
as well as the therefore needed, but deprecated port of lang/python27; Note that
lang/python27 is just a build dependency, and can be removed afterwards.
Updating from version 2.49.5 or earlier means "no way back" (or "use your backup")
as the user directory isn't backward compatible.
For a faster build process you may want to check if the following packages are installed on your machine:
cmake gmake gtk2 gtk3 llvm13 rust-cbindgen; But consider that pre-installing
those dependencies will set them to a "non-automatic" state, while the build process would leave
them with the "automatic" flag; So you've got to take care of getting rid of them again by your
own – a simple pkg autoremove won't do that for you…
If you don't want an english GUI take a look at the available
language packs.
To get the spellchecker up & running you have to
install a dictionary addon
that will be explicit filed under (the on the fly uprising topic) "Dictionaries" in
about:addons – and not under "Extensions"; That circumstance
belongs to a newer addon meachnisms SeaMonkeys big brother uses, so you may have to dive through
older versions of the desired dictionary (SeaMonkey has so far no WebExtensions api support, so
for addons
legacy versions
are needed). And don't forget to select your dictionary in the preferences and restart SeaMonkey…
