Arch Linux User Repository

PKGBUILD has been updated. Major changes:

• Downloads Firefox ESR and localization using the source array. Files are saved for reuse.
• Saves freshly patched IceCat sources in a tarball for reuse.
• Saves the PGO profile for reuse.

Notes:

• Currently requires clang/llvm 17, which has to be built from AUR.
• Wayland users, consider setting _build_pgo_xvfb=false. This will use xwayland-run for profiling.
• PGO should work now, but if it doesn't and you're willing to go without, try _build_pgo=false.
• Running out of RAM? Try adding mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=___ around line 300. Pick a value less than number of cores and free RAM in GB. For example, on a system with 8 cores, 64GB total RAM, but only 6 GB free, the value should be set to 4 or 5.
  • If a few people can confirm this is helpful, I will consider adding it as an additional option.
  • Main resource hog seems to be linking libxul.so. Leave a comment if you have a potential solution.

Having problems? Please provide details: processor make and model, number of cores, free -m, full log in pastebin, whether using AUR helper/makepkg/clean chroot, etc.

@dominiki this bug seems to be addressed here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1684180

Please, try the new build (can't test until tomorrow on my own).

I have the same issue as Ningen https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/#comment-782127 . Any idea how to fix that?

@computerzoo it has to recursive search and replace all those strings. Be patient!

For some reason, when Icecat is compiling, it stalls at this and stays there.

@sp1d3rmxn thanks. Patch included.

It seems an upstream bug is affecting the build-ability of this again. Surprise, surprise.. anyways here it is:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68747

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1667736 - upstream again due to rust (seems to be a continuous issue with these fucking devs, just look over the years here in this AUR package comments...always something with rust..)

https://d3kxowhw4s8amj.cloudfront.net/file/data/my2mrpepjswfd5kx7dic/PHID-FILE-ipt6ed2idiecgni5ib5i/D91572.diff - I did not feel like downloading this in to a patch because of the ignorance already in watching the source code get downloaded and wiped after failure, this is really stupid.

@Figue, Unfortunately, the repo is not up to date. Currently 75.3.0-1 is offered by Chaotic repo.

@figue I've been using $_SPEED ever since I saw it and my UI is 100% English with no other language options (not even Spanish). Anyway, the "no such file or dir" issue still persists even if I unset $_SPEED.
