Jan Beich <jbeich at vfemail.net> has asked gecko at FreeBSD.org for
maintainer-feedback:
Bug 193906: security/nss: update to 3.17.1 to fix CVE-2014-1568
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193906


------- Additional Comments from Jan Beich <jbeich at vfemail.net>
While native firefox/thunderbird/seamonkey ports use --with-system-nss it maybe
still worth updating in order to fix bugs missed in other point releases as
gecko@ team may not have any committers left. And there're still 3 weeks before
firefox 33.0.

$ svn export
https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/freebsd-gecko/branches/firefox32
$ cp -R firefox32/ /usr/ports/
