Fwd: Is possible to add the "configure --enable_system_cairo" as option for the firefox

[裸奔的蜗牛]

Hi Gnome,

The new version of cairo(1.10.2) has been released and it fixed some bugs
which are addressed in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=48037+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2010/cvs-ports/20101205.cvs-ports.
Could you please merge the update? Is possible to add this patch to the
cairo port?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Sipingal Liu

I assume you are using Firefox 3.6. Firefox was using system cairo until
cairo was updated to 1.10.0 because gif and svg image were no longer
rendered correctly:

If you like to revert this change you could use this patch:
