@leo_sk Multiple packages that provide the same package/pseudo-package can be installed side by side if none conflicts with the other indicated with "conflicts". Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#provides
@brainplot: would it then conflict with package firefox?
I don't know if this is intentional but it could be that this package is missing provides=('firefox')
. I'm testing out nightly and I wanted to install firefox-sync
but that's also requiring me to install firefox
, which shouldn't.
I had to use "gpg --keyserver gpg.mozilla.org --recv-key 0xF1A6668FBB7D572E"
Fix for "unknown public key": gpg --keyserver gpg.mozilla.org --refresh-keys
Possibly related: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/06/13/updated-firefox-gpg-key/
Actually a new unknown key... FAILED (unknown public key F1A6668FBB7D572E) on 20190613-firefox-69.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
Known and intentional. pacaur is (or at least was) an AUR helper that knew how to handle this, just like any other -git or VCS package for instance.
@ArchangeGabriel:I asked because because pamac (using yaourt backend) was showing the latest version to be 69.0a1.20190521-1 for almost a week without any update. However on manually installing it again today, nightly updated to 69.0a1.20190602-1. Now my installed version is 69.0a1.20190602-1 but pamac still shows the latest version is 69.0a1.20190521-1 and that i am using outdated version. On updating however, I still get the 2nd June's build. Is this behaviour known and intentional, or is it a bug specific to me?

Instead of building this yourself, please use the repository from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157.
Not only do you skip the very time-consuming builds, but the published package also has debug symbols at Mozilla's crash reports service, which helps tremendously with finding or filing bugs for any crashes you get.
I consider this the canonical
firefox-nightly
package for Arch Linux.Alternatively, download Firefox Nightly straight from Mozilla, extract it to a writable place (e.g.
~/.local/firefox-nightly
) and let it update itself using the integrated updater.
