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.

@cysp74 your are right. Please update your local repo, I've patched prename to perl-rename

@figue:

Hi,

prename is missing, there is no such executable on path.

I think I forgot to remove that fennec part... Let me fix. Sorry guys.

Edit: release 60.6.3-3 should be ok now. Please test.

Build log:

+ grep fennec
+ xargs prename s/fennec/icecatmobile/
xargs: prename: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

Why remove the # Replace Firefox branding part?

patch_makeicecat_stuff.patch has an invalid hashsum and fails to apply, please fix that.
