Why was it flagged out of date?? I can't see any new release.

Oh right, that's what the bug report was about :p.

@Det - nope, that's a repackaged aurora release, made to test the new nightly/aurora/beta channels. A bit silly of them to leave it up there though. @markelos - cool, cheers :)

Isn't it already here?: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/5.0b1/linux-x86_64/en-US/

Cool, I'll update the PKGBUILD as soon as it gets available.

The current version in this PKGBUILD isn't a beta, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652641 - the real beta is supposed to be available sometime today.

@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.

Det commented on 2011-03-27 13:18 (UTC)

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

Updated. Thanks for your help Det ;)
