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.

SigLevel = Optional

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.

Hello xenom. I propose some changes: https://gist.github.com/di72nn/40b64a133679bf424444a00fe14d8301 * Use GPG-verificataion by default (currently: if we download checksums from the same source as binaries, we can't guarantee any security). * Get build date from "${_file}-${CARCH}.txt" (the date format does not change). * Make use of $CARCH variable to get rid of duplicated code. Getting GPG and checksums verification is a bit tricky: in this case the checksums file contains a bunch of different checksums so we probably can't tell makepkg to use it. Hence, I use makepkg to verify GPG signature, then manually verify files by that GPG-verified checksums file (er, by "manually" I mean: with PKGBUILD code, not with makepkg functionality). (I'm aware that PKGBUILD already contains commented out part that allows to verify checksums file, but that checksums file is not really used to check anything since sha512sums array is populated with another curl request). Oh, and if somebody for some weird reason does not want to use GPG-verification, it can be easily skipped with --skippgpcheck.

Hello xenom I think you should change pkgver to use the BuildID available in application.ini, it more correct I think :) - Kristian

The pkgver are the same in the files. But the pkgver is automatically updated with the date of the day to keep trace of the date of the nightly build used.

The 'pkgver' in the '.SRCINFO' and 'PKGBUILD' file mismatch. This causes pacaur to fail installing the package.

@blackout how do you plan to apply a patch to a binary?

blackout commented on 2016-04-12 11:10 (UTC) (edited on 2016-04-12 11:12 (UTC) by blackout)

please add patch https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/firefox-gtk3-20.patch?h=packages/firefox until resolved in upstream https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234158 this gives us the scrollbar back :) thx https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/firefox
