For language you can install the xpi from Mozilla:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.3.0esr/linux-x86_64/xpi/
There is a directory with all of them in every new ESR release. There was a script some time ago that patch xpi to remove all "Mozilla stuff" from those xpi files, but I'm not sure if really was only a cosmetic process or a process to redistribute them as GNUzilla (sorry if I'm wrong with this).
@figue >>> awesome >>> icecat installation in seconds !!! ... can you also tell me where i can get a german language file for icecat, in the icecat setting i can't add a new language >>> there comes an error ???
@Terrorizer if you add Chaotic repo, you will avoid to build IceCat, like the rest of prebuilt packages. There is no other advantage.
@figue ... is there an advantage for icecat to use this new "Chaotic Repo" ??? And how can i solve this: when i wanna install icecat and it runs several hours, i don't sit before my computer the whole time, in the past often i came too late and there was an output like password overtime ???
figue@pluto ~ % LC_ALL=C pacman -Si chaotic-aur/icecat | grep -E 'Date|Name|Version'
Name : icecat
Version : 78.3.0-1
Build Date : Tue Sep 29 22:01:57 2020
IceCat was built in Chaotic a few days ago successfully
@mazzarino I have the same issue as you. I tried running an older version of rust per the bug report that you attached but that didn't change anything.
Have you had any luck finding a fix?
@Terrorizer patch process can take a long time, depending on your machine capacity.
Good news is that IceCat was added to Chaotic repo recently:
@figue, is it not possible that you make a bin-file of this
yesterday i start another try at 7:00 in the morning, and at 10:00 in the evening i must stop, because i must go to work and the compile was not complete ???
@figue It seems to be rust issue, similar https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74551 https://bugs.gentoo.org/727178
@mazzarino I see (signal: 9, SIGKILL: kill), like if the process was killed by someone...
