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 use session-manager and it works fine with Icecat 7. It is also by far the best session manager, I think.

Found a workaround for session store, activating Tab Mix Plus function: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (it works) or maybe https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ (not tested)

@Janusz11 Very odd then... You can use my personal repo to install it. BTW on the session issue, seems that IceCat store the file and it's readed on the next start: $ strace -f icecat 2>&1 | grep sessionstore.js [pid 11522] access("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", F_OK) = 0 [pid 11522] open("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 27 [pid 11522] access("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", F_OK) = 0 [pid 11522] stat64("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=2099, ...}) = 0 [pid 11522] stat64("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=2099, ...}) = 0 [pid 11522] stat64("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=2099, ...}) = 0 [pid 11522] open("/home/figue/.gnuzilla/icecat/tevpfbgw.default/sessionstore.js", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 44

Hey figue, seems like all is in order. That's what I get from grep -i font /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [ 377.806] (==) FontPath set to: /usr/share/fonts/misc/, /usr/share/fonts/TTF/, /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, /usr/share/fonts/Type1/, /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/, /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/

@Janusz11 Paste this output, maybe it's a Xorg fault: $ grep -i font /var/log/Xorg.0.log @fauno I have issues in 7.0 release with saved sessions. Seems that IceCat didn't save it in normal exit, even with new profile. I need more tests, but it works in Firefox,

@ kaptenen - I have no font configuration file in my xorg.conf.d folder. @ figue - Thanks. I've installed the libertine font package and sure enough the build process went further this time. However, now I get the following error message that I can't figure out anymore what's wrong or missing. make: *** [profiledbuild] Error 245 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

figue commented on 2011-10-01 10:12 (UTC)

@Janusz11 Only files I have inside that directory come from ttf-linux-libertine package. Can you try to install it and rebuild (as a workaround)?

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-10-01 09:25 (UTC)

Janusz11, it´s xorg you have to fix. Do you have something in that folder? I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-font.conf with this: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "~/.fonts/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local/" EndSection

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.
