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.

Just like with the latest 6.0 releases, the package fails to build on my machine with the following error message: make: *** [profiledbuild] Error 245 [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, removing from list! I understand that OTF is the OpenType Font library. I do have libotf installed. But there is no such path (/usr/share/fonts/OTF). I haven't seen anything where I could manipulate this in the configuration.

I've a personal repo here, locales included: [blackhole] http://mirror.linuzeros.org/icecat/repo/i686/ Feel free to use it. x86_64 is available too.

would it be possible for someone to provide binaries for i686 it would be extremely useful for laptop users. The parabola repo hasnt updated their icecat package. I hope someone can do this, thanks

@thevoidzero Works fine for me. Try to start with a clean directory: mv ~/.gnuzilla ~/.gnuzilla.bad

I'm having troubles with sessionstore. I can't seem to save sessions and restore on browser reopen.

I need more time to test it properly, but this morning it seems fine. Flash still needs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false.

fauno commented on 2011-09-05 13:25 (UTC)

nice! did you have trouble with sessionstore? your PKGBUILD isn't much different than mine...

6.0.1 released. Now PGO works!
