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.

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).

@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).

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.

what is the difference between this bin and the one in extra, I have some font rendering issue with the one in extra :( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115515

I've updated to 4.0 and decided to share it with you all for kicks and giggles. I'm disowning the package now because the final is released.

Firefox 4 full version is released at 21.march. source can be downloaded from Mozilla FTP server ftp://mozilla.fastbull.org/mozilla/firefox/releases/4.0/

@zodmaner: It's not so bad, personally; I don't use the Downloads window very often. My mother, however, does and she's ticked :s... Is this an upstream bug or what? I never experienced this with the betas.
