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.

So, 68.2.0 pushed. Remember:

It's not official, some patches comes from Antonio Trande's gitlab, a repo made for Fedora:

there is a minor update already 68.2

jaro3 commented on 2019-10-24 00:40 (UTC)

Nope, please go ahead!

Hi jaro3. Thanks for the feedback. Indeed it works well, so far I hadn't received any feedback, so I didn't want to upgrade without that.. I can push version in any time. So any objection?

jaro3 commented on 2019-10-23 01:28 (UTC)

The v68.1 works pretty well, why we wouldn't put it here instead of the old v60.9? Hopefully the current ff v69 will appear soon at:

Yes! That did it. Thank you very much.

@EndUserOnly can you try if this builds fine?

Seems that rust 1.38 breaks ESR60.0 build, so I've disabled stylo to workaround, but I don't know the overall performance.

Instead, you can build a testing release based on Fedora sources, available here:

unfortunately I do not have the skills to help with that.

figue commented on 2019-10-15 11:31 (UTC)

I'm trying if this patch solves the build errors:
