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.

Updated, and revert to standard package name, because date cause problems in yaourt/AUR. You can see the install date with pacman -Qii.

I've seen that. I will revert to the old name (4.0b4pre) in a future update. I have done this, because people ask me to add the date in the pkgver.See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102160 for more infos.

Seems that the displaying of package version is broken in AUR and yaourt. Obviously they cannot parse your PKGBUILD and I think they are right. Putting dynamical pkgversions in there is definitely weird. Why not just let it be 4.0b4pre_nightly instead?

xenom commented on 2010-08-09 20:18 (UTC)

PKGBUILD updated. Date added in pkgver after some suggestions. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102160 for more infos.

Updated to 4.0b4pre. @skodabenz : It's impossible to add the date in pkgver. The pkgver are updated when the makepkg is run for CVS but not for other system.

Instead of pkgver showing the firefox version, I think it would be better to use the date of building the package as the okgver (like *-git AUR packages). This way we will know nightly build of "which date" is currently installed in the system.

@stlifey Just change pkgver=4.0b3pre to pkgver=4.0b4pre in PKGBUILD...

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-08-06 08:57 (UTC)

Please update to 4.0b4pre

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-07-30 23:49 (UTC)

Be wary to upgrade from 4.0b2. As of now 4.0b3 crashes every time you download(save as) any file. At least for me that is. Using openbox and thunar as my file manager.
