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.

I went ahead and installed it without any issues. (Not to say you should upload it. I was just curious.) I looked into it a little more and the triqsuel url is used by the maintainer of icecat Ruben Rodriguez. However it seems he hasn't released it for whatever reason. Considering the security issues you would think Ruben would be motivated to releasing it on the official site.

@Lowe don't know... In Gnuzilla mailing list there is no communication of this new release, also there isn't any new directory in official http/ftp site https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/ Will wait until official release.

Apparently there is a newer version? Unless it's their own custom version. I have no idea. http://jenkins.trisquel.info/icecat/ https://www.parabola.nu/packages/libre/x86_64/icecat/

Hi @Lowe, our release is last upstream. If you see, there are all these patches applied: icecat-CVE-2015-4473-partial.patch icecat-CVE-2015-4482.patch icecat-CVE-2015-4488.patch icecat-CVE-2015-4489.patch icecat-CVE-2015-4491.patch icecat-CVE-2015-4492.patch icecat-CVE-2015-4495.patch Some of these are listed in the email you post. Some doesn't. I'm following IceCat project daily to try to push always last version quickly, but you can flag out-of-date if a new version is released and I didn't realized.

Lowe commented on 2015-09-27 18:05 (UTC)

Does this suffer from the same security issues addressed here? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2015-09/msg00011.html

Source tarball of gnu2 is not published. So I applied CVE patches to release 31.8.0-2 (in fact IceCat 31.8.0-gnu2). So out-of-date notification removed.

@archaurwiki done. Pull your local repo.

Hi figue, 1) EDIT: I looked at the git log for package changes 2) Can you please update the mirrors.kernel.org url to .bz2 and change to https? I made the original request on 2015-04-09 16:56, can you include the update in the next release? Thanks again!
