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.

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 So out-of-date notification removed.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!

Hi figue, 1) What are the differences between the 1st release and 2nd release of this 31.8.0 package? I need to know if the reasons justify a rebuild (for me, at least, because it will take some time to rebuild). 2) The mirrors.kernel.org source still points to a non-existent (very outdated) file and is still not https. I made the request to update that url on 2015-04-09 16:56, can you please change it before the next release? Thank you very much.

Hi ErkanMDR, you are building IceCat in /tmp. If is mounted as tmpfs probably you don't have enough space. Can you try to build in another (physical) filesystem?
