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.

> firefox-54.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (bad signature from public key 1C69C4E55E9905DB) Why would this be the same issue as the checksum URL problem? Isn't this more of a key management issue?

Archange commented on 2017-02-12 17:03 (UTC)

The source URL is a symptom, the real issue is indeed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336732.

@NoSohoth the PKGBUILD is already updated. I believe your issue is related to the source URL. Try https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ instead of https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/

Checksum are finally back, however the .asc and tarball don't match: ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... firefox-54.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (bad signature from public key 1C69C4E55E9905DB) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build firefox-nightly. Related to this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1305139#c63 This: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336732 And this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-dev/#news For some reason, I get the good .asc when I download it with firefox, but not with wget or makepkg.

Thanks for the updated PKGBUILD. CHecksum removed in favor of signed tarball.

Archange commented on 2017-02-11 17:31 (UTC)

Checksum are indeed back, and the issue remains open only because it’s not fixed in aurora channel (just nightly one). However, I would advise removing them altogether in favour of the signed tarball, checksum serve no purpose anymore then.

Updated PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/di72nn/40b64a133679bf424444a00fe14d8301 No more hacks with manual checksum checks: there is a signature for the archive file. P. S.: I didn't get into details, but the upstream issue is still open.

x-f commented on 2017-02-10 20:14 (UTC)

Looks like checksums are back, but format/lines changed and not -eq 2

@fightcookie for such scenario there is changeling: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/changeling/ It will work with any PKGBUILD that just needs rebuild to fetch new version (so like pretty much every *-git package) And it gives you freedom to setup yourself how often package should be updated ;)

xuiqzy commented on 2017-02-08 01:45 (UTC)

Could you consider bumping the version once a day, so we always get the latest nightly when updating? This isn't even a -git package, but a binary packge. Also, the people, who only want to update manually and don't want notifications each day, can easily exclude the package by setting it on the ignore list for automatic updates! This way, there is more information in the package for those of us who want to use that and don't want to set up a script for every packeg of this form with a different update rhythm (than daily).
