Build fails with

make: *** No rule to make target 'firefox-build'.  Stop

Checking the Makefile in src/curl-impersonate-0.9.5/build shows no firefox recipes, only chrome ones. I'm assuming there's an extra step to enable building for firefox but I'm not seeing it anywhere in the docs. 0.9.5 still says it supports firefox though.

md5sum for v0.5.2 should be changed to c7d0d1e3f48ad45fe830138ac972976b.

@somini you are right! I updated both packages.

Both prefixes for configuration should be $pkgdir/usr, not the local variant. The local folder should remain for manually installed software.

@mattf Rebuild the packages on my side, works great for FF. Thanks, sorry for the delay.

Detected a bug on Chrome, but I'll flesh it out on the other package.

@somini thanks for pointing it out! I've updated both curl-impersonate-firefox and curl-impersonate-chrome. Tell me if something is not working for you.

v0.4.1 was released, it has an autotools-based build system now.

https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate/blob/main/INSTALL.md

Since upstream has versions now, this should be changed to use the source tarballs, instead of being a stealth "-git" package.

@mattf The symlink sounds good to me, best of both worlds. Maybe this could be contributed upstream?

somini: Updated, well they kinda changed this but I am still resisting to change this package's name, or that binary (since I already have some scripts using with that name: curl-impersonate-firefox), so for now I am simply creating a symlink and it works.

I also thought on sed replacing on the scripts to use curl-impersonate-firefox instead of ff. Or, finally, simply make it install to curl-impersonate-ff only and refactor my scripts.

Well, I'm completely open to suggestions!

The main binary must be installed in "curl-impersonate-ff" for the "curl_ff*" scripts to run correctly.
