Arch Linux User Repository

Hey guys:

I have updated the package to 71.0 but because of an issue related to firefox not allocating objects with correct alignment the package is currently buggy.

Its waiting in a separate branch on gitlab currently:

https://gitlab.com/Thaodan/firefox-kde-opensuse/tree/firefox71

upstream git repo:* (https://gitlab.com/Thaodan/firefox-kde-opensuse)

repo in /etc/pacman.conf:

Is this still maintained?

Hi there,

is there a chance for an update? 72 is really old und its every dady harder to get it stable working...

@k0r0ng: Sorry I forgot to push the updating commit, done. @ShayBox: You don't seem to get how I'm using the gitlab repo, please look closer before complaining.

aur packages are git repositories, you should be commit/pushing to this, using gitlab as your main repo defeats the purpose of using the aur packages git repo, you could just make this package pull the gitlab repo.

I know v72.0.2 is in your repo(thaodan.de), but can you update the PKGBUILD that is also here(AUR).

Since this update the build fails. Any hints?

Ok, I just read the comment. The new RUST version it is.

The shorter explanation: pacman doesn't track files like rpm and if a library bump occurs it doesn't recognizes it. I explained issues like this again and again. I'll add a faq.

The longer explanation: Some libraries are linked directly on a specific abi version, either by choice or because it's forced. For example icu is such a case because the C++ ABI isn't considered stable by them .

@Thaodan That was no offense at all. I appreciate your work and respect that you have a social life and that you do this in your spare time. But I am also a little bit disappointed that such a fundamental issue like the icu rebuilt is undected by you since 14 days. Why I did not report this issue? Well, yeah that is my fault. I reported the dav1d rebuild issue and it got fixed very soon. Thanks for that. But after a few days there was this icu issue. I decided for myself, that the maintainance burden to use this package is to high for me. But I should had report it. I still miss the global menu So I came back here in order to look if the issue has been resolved :-D. I saw ShayBox's comment that was unheeded for 4 days. So he already reported the issue. A response to him would have been very appreciated (you also managed to respond to me within 5 minutes). As I said, I appreciate your work but I think we need to communicate more.

@ShayBox Yeah this package is literally a pain in the ass. I've dedided to stop using it because it broke way to often.

At least for standard firefox we can use GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 firefox together with https://www.archlinux.de/packages/extra/x86_64/xdg-desktop-portal-kde to have a Plasma file picker dialog. Still there is no support for global menu in standard firefox.
