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'm getting lots of write errors while trying to build this.

In my case directly $ gpg --recv-keys brings error: no keyserver available $ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3C76EED7D7E04784 works for me.

Hmm.... I didn't know that that was necessary? I didn't have to do this for any other AUR packages.

$ gpg --recv-keys 3C76EED7D7E04784 # <= Did you bother to do this before installing?

DrTebi commented on 2015-04-28 20:33 (UTC)

It works now, thank you for your efforts. I do get a PGP error for the key though: ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... icecat-31.6.0-gnu1.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key 3C76EED7D7E04784) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! It works when installing it with --skipinteg though.

removed symlink and upgraded, it seems to be working just fine :) Thanks! :)

stamno commented on 2015-04-27 01:08 (UTC)

haven't tried new release yet, but symlinking did make my old install work,so I haven't recompiled yet. Will probably upgrade during the next days. Thanks! :)
