Arch Linux User Repository

Could you provide a symlink of the extension for LibreWolf?

Add this as last line into package():

ln -sf "/usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions/${_extension_id}.xpi" "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/librewolf/browser/extensions/${_extension_id}.xpi"

Could you add unzip to makedepends?

@medaminezghal Sorry for being inactive. I've made you a maintainer. I'll disown the package or allow the orphan request to go through because I haven't gotten around to it.

Done!

Now extension is updated to v1.26.1!

Been busy, but I'll get this done in a bit.

I agree that the source doesn't really matter as long as it gets done. Besides some minor reservations about unannounced versions and checksums, I was going to implement a method like you described. I only used the source method as a legacy from the previous maintainer and never figured out procedural retrieval from Mozilla's site instead. Thanks for the info.

Ryan, please go ahead and make the changes. Since I'm not using my Arch machine at the moment, I won't be able to test it for a while, but I trust it'll work just as well as firefox-blocktube. Thanks again.

Currently, I'm considering just using a method Firefox employs in its policy-templates guide: Pulling the latest version directly from the site https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/clearurls/latest.xpi

As seen here: https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#extensionsettings

Been doing this on firefox-blocktube (an AUR package I maintain), and I'd like to know if this is fine instead of the route of compiling?

At the end of the day, the goal is to enforce this extension system-wide across all Firefox browsers, and neither a binary install from the website or a source-code compilation should affect that.

Yeah, I tried to update again, and it's still weird:

https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/releases/download/1.26.1/clearurls-1.26.1.xpi https://codeload.github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/tar.gz/refs/tags/1.26.1

Both the plugin and the source for 1.26.1 on github are 404 missing. Meanwhile, the latest release on gitlab seems to be 1.23.1. Please read my last 3 comments to understand why this is an issue.

In the meantime, I've reverted this package to 1.23.1 because at least we're able to retrieve that version's source release. Hopefully, @ryanbarillos or someone can take over and fix this. Otherwise, comment here or message me if/when upstream release links work again.

So upstream did finally update the github release about a month after I last checked, but nobody commented telling me, and it wasn't mentioned in the orphan request either. It's true that I haven't really updated in over a year, but it wasn't due to lack of trying in the beginning.

Regardless, I'll hand it over to you, @ryanbarillos, since you made the request. I've made you a maintainer, and I'll disown the package entry if you update, and you'll become the sole maintainer.

I've known this has been out-of-date for a quite a long time, but unfortunately, the issue with the source versions I described has STILL not been resolved (i.e. no new releases on github or gitlab). There should be a way to build from source; but tbh, I can't be bothered due to the versioning issue (If we get the current master branch files from gitlab, what version is it when there's no release number? Moreover, this isn't a -git or -dev package, so I don't think live source updates are appropriate.)

I never actually agreed to maintain this, and I only updated because the source format fit the previous maintainer's PKGBUILD, making it simple. Nobody helped me with links or suggestions for 9 months. So now, even I have resorted to using Mozilla's Add-On site instead. If anyone wants to fix/update this package, then I'll gladly hand it off to you. Or, if you can convince the upstream project dev(s) to make a git release like before, then I'll start updating again.
