Sorry. I was misunderstanding. This has correct provides.

@oech3 what do you mean by activate? No it does not create rxtra symlink for extension. Last timw I checked extensions placed in firefox folder are being picked up by librewolf so If's not the case now. I might add an extra link.

Does ln -s /usr/lib/{librewolf,firefox}/browser/extensions at PKGBUILD activate https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/firefox-adblock-plus/ ?

@oech3

no it doesn't, it literally only provides firefox, so your extensions can be satisfied with librewolf if they needs it.

And the content of this is just 1 symlink

package() {
  install -d "$pkgdir"/usr/bin
  ln -s /usr/bin/librewolf "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/firefox
}

This does not break ff ext. This provides incorrect provides= for pkgs putting files on /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions (my mistake or easily fixed?).

@oech3 - can you provide info about how it breaks your ff extenaions?

It's a symlink ln -s librewolf firefox

oech3 commented on 2025-06-02 17:14 (UTC)

Does this break dependencies about extentions for ff?

@pludikovsky ah, cool added :) but wouldn't awking $NF output the whole 1:$pkgver_1-1 ?

I am not at my Archbox at the moment, so I am not sure if 1:$pkgver_1-1 in the shim is preferable to $pkgver_1-1. How would pacman consider what pkg is providing the firefox the newest.

EDIT, oh NF = last field :) ok now I get it, it should work.

pludikovsky commented on 2025-04-07 07:48 (UTC)

Due to the way the versioning numbers of the librewolf-bin package work (1:$pkgver_1-1 instead of $pkgver_1-1) the pkgver() function returns the wrong result outside of CI.

This patch should fix this without breaking:

I'm getting librewolf-firefox-shim: local (119.0-1) is newer than AUR (100.0.2-1) whenever I do a system upgrade. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but whenever I do so, it still installs 119. Is this a problem?
