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.

There: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnuzilla/3.6.14/ But it seems that Giusseppe remove it. Downgrading...

Where did you get version 3.6.14 as that is not yet available?

msx commented on 2010-12-17 03:11 (UTC)

@cantabile Thank you!! I will look upon that and let you know =)

@msx: You will need to modify one of those patches a bit: firefox-cross-desktop.patch - succeeded firefox-kde.patch - failed firefox-no-gnomevfs.patch - succeeded firefox-browser-css.patch - succeeded (s/modify/redo/ actually) The other patches seem to have nothing to do with kde integration: mozilla-firefox-1.0-lang.patch browser-defaulturls.patch firefox-version.patch firefox-agent.patch python2.7.patch

Hi figue, guys: I just discovered the opensuse patch that integrates so well firefox to kde. Do you know if is there any possibility to use it with Icecat too? I was to try that out but I think best thing was to ask you and ask for advice aswell. Thank you for packaging Icecat for all of us!

figue commented on 2010-12-14 10:16 (UTC)

Ok, we can remove it. Then we could put an advice in the post-installation script: "New version of the privacy extension avaliable here http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/3.6.13/privacy_ext.xpi"

jackoneill commented on 2010-12-14 08:39 (UTC)

By the way, doesn't gnu publish checksums anywhere? For their tarballs?

jackoneill commented on 2010-12-14 08:38 (UTC)

Yes! I have an idea: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/304633/ In short, we don't include it in the package. Also, I removed pkg-config because it's in the base-devel group, replaced a couple hard tabs with spaces, and added a "package()" function. ^_^

figue commented on 2010-12-14 08:04 (UTC)

I have a little problem with v3.6.13. IceCat put a extension in /usr/lib/icecat-3.6/extensions/privacy_ext.xpi, so in every start IceCat prompt to install it. For now, the only way to fix it is to remove it manually after first restart. I'd could show a message in post installation script... Anybody have a better idea? Thanks
