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.

Cant build because sha256sums check fails at icecat-master.tar.gz

I had to push a new release, because new rust version breaks IceCat build.

Changelog:

  • I have switched to Antonio Trande's repo as main source. No more big patch files...
  • New AUR dependency rust-bin=1.37.0 (yeah, it's not the best option, but Rust 1.39 is not supported in Mozilla ESR branch)

If anybody wants to build in a clean chroot, I managed to build using clean-chroot-manager by graysky adding rust-bin to local repo then build it.

OK got the key on another machine without proxy and installed manually ;-) Works fine, thanks!

Please, resync your local repos. Just pushed a commit to fix dependencies.

Also for @jaro3 uncomment line 53 (# sed -e 's/^gpg2 --keyserver.*//g' -i makeicecat) to avoid checking gpg2.

Hi,

Following errors occurred during compile:

xargs: perl-rename: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

Thanks for the push, tried to build but still the old problem:

  • gpg2 --keyserver hkp://gpg.mozilla.org/ --list-keys 'Mozilla Software Releases release@mozilla.com' gpg: error reading key: No public key

--skipinteg, --skippgpcheck or using 'SKIP' or "sed -e 's/^gpg --recv-keys.*//g' -i makeicecat" in the PKGBUILD doesn't help :-(

figue commented on 2019-10-24 21:51 (UTC)

So, 68.2.0 pushed. Remember:

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

https://gitlab.com/anto.trande/icecat

jaro3 commented on 2019-10-24 00:41 (UTC)

there is a minor update already 68.2

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

Nope, please go ahead!

figue commented on 2019-10-23 09:38 (UTC)

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?
