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.

_srcsum="$(curl -vs "${_srcurl}/${_file}.checksums" 2>&1 | grep bz | grep sha512 | cut -d " " -f1)" I don't really understand the combination of both --silent and --verbose, as well as the redirection of errors to stdin, but these are completely unnecessary :). In fact, since the tarball seems to be listed first in the .checksums, a simple: _srcsum="$(curl -s "${_srcurl}/${_file}.checksums" | cut -d " " -f1 | head -1)" Would do. Or to fuglify: _srcsum="$(curl -s "${_srcurl}/${_file}.checksums" | sed -n '1s/ .*//p')"

Updated to 30.Oa1 Modification suggested by jreese added : pkgver and vendor.js. Thanks.

Please change the version to 30.0a1.

I've also added a simple vendor.js that disables the built-in update check, so that it stops bugging you to update something that you ideally shouldn't have permissions to update. ;) https://github.com/jreese/arch/blob/master/firefox-nightly/PKGBUILD https://github.com/jreese/arch/blob/master/firefox-nightly/vendor.js

I've modified the PKGBUILD to include a pkgver() function to add the build date to the version string. This way building nightlies onto my package repo will show as updates to all of my machines. The full PKGBUILD is available at https://github.com/jreese/arch/blob/master/firefox-nightly/PKGBUILD The diff to implement this is available at https://github.com/jreese/arch/commit/8a44ff3776a3692e3496161c8f76e045308a17ed

You need repack this AUR anytime ;]

Is this package updated whenever nightly is? How fast does an update reach this package?

HalosGhost commented on 2013-12-13 04:40 (UTC)

Anytime. You might want to also consider adding a pkgver() function so people can know easily what build they have using pacman. This is another technique that the aurora and ux packages utilize. All the best,
