I was kind of surprised to see that there was no port for the Brave web browser so I figured this would be a chance to take a stab at making a port.
The first thing I discovered about Brave is that it requires nodejs 6.1 or greater and OpenBSD only has a port of the 4.x branch. Ok, lets start there… To build nodejs 6.4 (current latest), i need python 2.6 or 2.7. I installed python 2.7.11 from pkg but running ./config for nodejs still fails because it can’t find python. I think it is because there is no “python", but “python2.7”. Perhaps a symlink is needed? So… what is my next step? Should I contact the maintainer of node 4.3.0 and request node 6.x? Should I attempt it myself? Is someone already working on Brave and I am wasting my time? (although the experience of doing this may still be worth it..) Thoughts? jordon
