upgrade firefox to 2.0.6 [Solved]

[aleroot]

How i can upgrade firefox to 2.0.6 vrson on my Sabayon 3.4a x86_64???

[zouzou85]

first do as root in terminal:
emerge --sync && layman -S

then do (still as root):

emerge firefox

BUT BE WARNED. recompiling firefox could take up to 3 hours.

I think the package is called mozilla-firefox. Not sure if emerge accepts just "firefox."

emerge -s firefox should be able to tell. I'd be more specific but I'm at work, away from my Sabayon install. Hope this helps.

[zouzou85]

oh yeah, flick is right, the package name is mozilla-firefox (just check portage), so it is:
emerge mozilla-firefox
not
emerge firefox
but you can search the package by typing
emerge --search firefox
or any package for that matter.
i apologize for the misinformation.

Is mozilla-firefox-bin a pre-compiled version of the application? If so, for what architecture?

[Fitzcarraldo]

^Yes, it's a pre-compiled binary which you can emerge (and save lots of time). It's x86 (32-bit).
