Fedora is slightly preferred because rebuild schedule is more consistent and users tend to trust it more. This package has used icecatbrowser.org binaries before, but switched to Fedora when icbo missed a release. Could switch back if needed, but would wait a little while if old release is still functional, to prevent whiplash.

Is there any reason why this is built on top of a fedora package instead of https://icecatbrowser.org/all_downloads.html ?

@Ningen I have not looked at the binaries carefully. Build logs are available, but I don't know how their process works. The packages are referenced at packages.fedoraproject.org, so I would expect them to be on par with other Fedora packages.

Hi @xiota,

Silly question but are these actually safe/vetted in any way? You can't really find anything on the compilation process searching through the upstream url.

Thanks,

Install path changed from /opt to /usr/lib. Run icecat --ProfileManager to manage and select profiles. Otherwise, a new profile will be created.

Greetings, I think that the RPM has moved from 'tasks' to 'packages'.

I was able to makepkg with this data. Please confirm my findings and update the PKGBUILD.
