@aeosynth, wrong, _everything_ is not needed to be "logged" because it's no use for anybody to know that the maintainer changed e.g. a comment in the PKGBUILD (because it won't affect the built package in any way). Most people don't even review the PKGBUILD they are installing. In addition to this there was discussion about this subject in AML not long ago - you can have a look here (the first mail): http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-March/014240.html I used to myself sometimes modify/upload some of my packages like 20 times before I was happy (changed some minor stuff, like the pkgdesc, comments, quotes (") around dir variables ($srcidr, $pkgdir), etc.). Would you imagine if I would've bumped the pkgrel every single time ^^? I believe the longer the build time, the more frustrated people are with pkgrel bumps (though, you can just choose not to update the package when checking for new updates). And I don't understand what are you talking about this "fork" or "messed package". I maintain no firefox packages at all. The discussion below was about markelos who modified this package to use the nightly firefox builds and I told him to change it back. Even if this 2nd sentence was rejected to markelos, I already told down there that 'firefox-nightly' already exists.

@det the whole point of *having* a pkgrel is to log the PKGBUILD version; it's meta information. if you go around messing with the package itself, you've created a fork, and you should resubmit the new package to the aur as such.

And bumping the pkgrel was unnecessary since nothing changed in the package itself ^^.

Updated. Thanks for your help Det ;)

Btw. you don't need both, sha1sums _and_ md5sums. Unlike md5, as of date, nobody has been able to break sha1. Also the cd line "cd ${srcdir}" is not needed, since all functions are executed from ${srcdir} by default.

Det commented on 2011-03-25 21:04 (UTC)

Ok. Well the auto fetching sha512sums for the nightlies could've been done like this (I actually suggested this for xenom, the maintainer of 'firefox-nightly', but he didn't use it because this way a new version wouldn't be downloaded automatically if the previous nightly existed in the build dir; the sha512sum check would just fail): sha512sums=(`wget ${source/ta*}checksums -qO - | grep bz | cut -d " " -f1` [...]) For this package you could do (didn't test this but it should work, you could also use the sha1sums): md5sums=(`wget ${source/li*}MD5SUMS -qO - | grep ${CARCH} | grep US | grep ta | cut -d " " -f1` [...]) And no, this package is not a duplicate of anything. "aboutall.cz" just has the same thing going on as you did. 'Firefox-bin' should only follow the stable releases. _But_ because there is already a 'stable binary firefox' in the repos 'firefox-bin' is a duplicate of _that_ one so it should be deleted. I told him already about it.

Yeah, I didn't notice that there was a nightly release already, my bad... Will change to the way it was before. I commented the md5sum as the release kept changing and was trying to find a way to pull the sha512sum mozilla created in the PKGBUILD. If this is for beta/stable releases then it's a duplicate to this one (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47657).

Det commented on 2011-03-25 13:29 (UTC)

@markelos, well, please un-do that. There's firefox-nightly for the nightly releases. This one is for the beta/stable ones. E: in addition why are the md5sums commented? This doesn't build as long as they are (unless you'd use --skipinteg, of course).

axil42 commented on 2011-03-24 22:39 (UTC)

I'm adopting this and updated to nightly releases until firefox5-beta hits the deck ;) @IdoMcFly The difference is that this package takes the prebuilt binaries from mozilla whereas the one in extra is built from source with options and patches selected from the maintainer.
