I meant that no one had paid attention to updating the web pages and instructions for external people to build the desktop since OpenSolaris
died.  The only reason that page exists is because I migrated it from
OpenSolaris - no one else cared to, and no one else seems to notice if
I update the hg repo or not.

    There's still some info on
    https://java.net/projects/solaris-desktop/pages/Building
    though I have no idea how useful or current it is, since no one has been 
paying
    attention to it since OpenSolaris died.

        Can you suggest where to go for tutorials and docs?

                 I suppose they're all under "patches"?


             Yes.

                 Are there any patches for Firefox 31.6?


             Solaris isn't shipping 31.6 yet, but there are patches for 31.1 
there.
             You'll need to check the firefox.spec file to find out what's 
applied,
             since the version numbers in the patch names are often meaningless,
        since
             the patches didn't get renamed when carried forward to new 
versions.

             You might find it easier to browse the version at:
        https://hg.java.net/hg/solaris-desktop~spec-files
             or you can hg clone it to look through locally.
