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.

@mosh5382 I've changed that patch source to Arch's github mirror for now, until migration to gitlab.archlinux.org will be done. Then will be changed again. Thanks for reporting.

This doesn't appear to be present at this location:

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/0001-Use-remoting-name-for-GDK-application-names.patch?h=packages/firefox&id=92b3303bf777c103ae2cb1470e8ff2e1437e88b2

Therefore the pkgbuild fails.

@mazzarino, Chaotic AUR.

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.3.0esr/linux-x86_64/xpi/

Это работает до первой перезагрузки. Icecat меню не перевелены.

После перезагрузки.. Мне нужно вручную удалить расширение

===

This works to the first reboot. The icecat menu is not translated.

After the reboot.. I have to manually delete the extension

@username13 А откуда брали langpack? Существующие официальные языковые пакеты были разработаны для версии 60.7.0_gnu1,и они не совместимы с 78.3.0gnu1

https://repology.org/project/icecat/packages

Where did you get the langpack? The existing official language packs were developed for version 60.7.0_gnu1 and they are not compatible with 78.3.0gnu1

@figue, I'm using a Russian language. After I install the langpack-ru in this browser and then reboot ...

There is such a message:

Ошибка синтаксического анализа XML: неопределённая сущность

Адрес: chrome://browser/content/browser.XHTML

Строка 2473, символ 9:

<label id="fxa-menu-service-label

__^

And the approximate translation:

syntaxic analysis error: Not a certain essence

..

Row 2473, symbol 9:

then I delete the Langpack-ru

@figue, when i wanna use this language-file i get an error when icecat newly starts !!! ... another question: why starts icecat not in fullscreen; everytime it starts not in fullscreen and i must double-click on the icecat border, to make it fullscreen >>> is there a trick i don't know >>> every other browser starts everytime in fullscreen ???

figue commented on 2020-10-05 20:46 (UTC)

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 ???

figue commented on 2020-10-04 18:53 (UTC)

@Terrorizer if you add Chaotic repo, you will avoid to build IceCat, like the rest of prebuilt packages. There is no other advantage.

Terrorizer commented on 2020-10-04 16:47 (UTC)

@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 ???
