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.

OK I understand now. What you are looking for is Options/Advanced/Updates there you can untick update check for FF.

What is there not to understand ? Mozilla rolls out a new package every day when it is being automatically rebuilt. The aur package only asks for an upgrade when the major version changes not just the timestamp. This triggers firefox to whine that it's not up-to-date.

I do not understand. What are you asking? Being prompted every day for a rebuild or not being?

lolol xD I'm using yaourt, what do you suggest, I manually prompt for a reinstall every day when there's a new build ?

Det commented on 2012-10-18 10:19 (UTC)

Lololol. Get a better AUR tool.

I have flagged the package out-of-date as it keeps bugging me for an update. I think the package version should include the timestamp as well as the major and minor versions.

PKGBUILD updated for security. Changes : - Added sha512 checksum for the package - Change the checksum for the desktop files from sha1 to sha512 - Added the GnuPG signature verification. You have to uncomment the line to enable it. I only remove the sha1 checksum from the kang's PKGBUILD, because I think its secure enough with sha512.

From a paranoid point of view, the more checksums you check the better. It'd be hard to have a matching checksum for 2 algoritms even if both were broken. Now, sha512 isn't broken, so it should be enough. Feel free to modify it, don't need to be as paranoid as I am and it might be slower on old machines Thanks!

xenom commented on 2012-10-16 12:21 (UTC)

Thank you. This is a great improvement. I just don't understand why you check both sha1 and sha512 checksums. The sha512sum should be enough. I will update the PKGBUILD in a few hours.
