I'm aware that Deer Park IS Firefox but my understanding was that Deer

release source. Am I confused?
Yes, you are. Have a look at the ebuild:
# $Header:
/var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/www-client/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-1.5-r11.
ebuild,v 1.1 2006/02/01 22:13:20 anarchy Exp $
...
As you see, the source tarball is being downloaded from the releases
folder of Mozilla.org's ftp, not any CVS or nightly build folder.
Ebuilds from development trees such as CVS or "nightlies" are clearly so
marked in their title, if they exist.
For example, I use an ebuild for Krusader (provided by on the Homepage)
which builds from the project's CVS tree, and it is rightfully called
"krusader-cvs" rather than the normal "krusader" ebuild provided by
Portage.
Thanks for the info and for clearing up my confusion.
If an ebuild doesn't say it's compiling from CVS, it isn't. And of
course, you can always just open it in a text editor and /look/...
I'm still learning how Portage works. I wasn't aware that ebuilds were that
straightforward.
After reading all the thread I only confused on one thing.
Why The [Account Setting] And [Preference] is Under the [Edit] Menu
Where on the windows build it is under the [Tools] Menu.
Any Idea?
