Arch Linux User Repository

Adopted for now...

Hi I have fixed all issues that I found. You can find the new PKGBUILD here: https://diakoffice-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/edu_dqby_1609_sulid_hu/EWt_q7J0S_VCreow6HX-XzYBZ0t6BK9Hm9lyDnt6hvaz-Q?e=fwrehc

Hi there, I'm having problems. with this package. If I install the basilisk-bin package webrtc is working correctly, but if install this package the webrtc doesn't work.

Can you please fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Basilisk as of v2020.03.04 now lives in its own repository, which depends on the UXP repository as a git submodule. For this package as it relies on the packaged source rather than git it should be enough to grab the release tarball of Basilisk, plus the UXP commit tagged 88da01c (as mentioned in the release notes, and would be set as a pointer in git) which should be placed in the "platform" folder from the release tarball.

Please fix sha256sum:

04571b15fb720535cf390e3004821f22d2f120e720b121fd3046b907714b3e37 v2020.02.06.tar.gz

And don't forget that pkgrel should be 1 when a new version is out.

Cheers

1. Your are right, just added a comment in basilisk-bin AUR.

2. I've compiled again several times, and finally using this mozconfig advanced preferences works:

I think that a better approach to Arch philosofy is keep package as close as possible to upstream. You can let user decide to enable or disable features, but by default, basilisk should be very close to official binary. You can optimize and patch if something is broken for Arch, but IMHO feature list should be almost stock.

Maybe comment the options should be a good start, and let commented for the user, or you can add a custom flag that enables a group of privacy features for instance... I don't know...

@figue

1. Usually it's derivative packages (in this case basilisk-bin) which should define the conflicts and provides arrays.
2. I was aware of this for a while but I had assumed that it was an upstream bug. The presence of this bug is probably due to my build time configuration. Unfortunately, it will take some time to track down which build flag in particular is causing the issue. In the mean time you can try removing some of the lines in the mozconfig.

@neeshy thanks for maintaining this package. Was trying to update myself yesterday but I think you did it much much better... I have several things at work that I want to keep in UXL platform, so I read about this project and would give it a try.

A couple of things:

• perhaps you can add replaces/conflicts just in case somebody has basilisk-bin installed wants to replace the package.

conflicts=('basilisk-bin' 'basilisk-git')
replaces=('basilisk-bin' 'basilisk-git')

• Advanced preferences doesn't work, but it does with basilisk-bin, same clean profile. Can you test in your system?

Cheers

Here is a working - and dirty - PKGBUILD for Basilisk 2018.07.18

1) Modified commit reference to get Basilisk 2018.07.18 release

2) Removed useless and dead patches : fix-wifi-scanner, 0001-Bug-54395-remove-hardcoded-flag-lcrmf.patch, nss_mozbuild.patch, modified-install-dir.patch

3) Added a mozver value in order to fix packaging

4) Removed some part of copy icon line in order to keep existing icons

5) || return 1 are obsolete. If a build process is broken, makepkg will manage it flawlessly.

Yes I know, it is a little dirty, but you can use it to make an up-to-date PKGBUILD.

@KlipperKyle:

Thank you so very much. Yes, that's great, and I'm glad we can come to a solution that satisfies everyone. My apologies also for the delay in responding -- like everyone else, I'm afraid I too have a day job (and not an especially fast computer), so I'd like to beg a crumb of further indulgence by giving me a few days to put this together. If you'd like me to specifically contact you to keep you in the loop, I'm sure I can find your contact details somewhere to do that, but otherwise I'll get on this as soon as the rest of my meatspace-world commitments permit. Again, thanks very much for your help.
