Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues. This is not what it is supposed to be used for.

I automatically get notified of comments to this package. I do not need to be notified of whatever build problems occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.

Issues with this package can also be reported at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues (as it is also maintained there, at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch, too).

@Bitals, thanks for your input.

I'm not particurlarly fond of docker and k8s (I use docker at places because I have to), I can do the scripting part for myself. My question mainly was about an affordable service that offers such hardware to be provisioned on a time based lease, for the time of the build.

It's getting offtopic here though, I think, but thanks for the chime in anyways. I'll be on the lookout for such a provider.

@karolyi if you are looking for a lease only for the build time, I think you would have to either manually create a VPS each time you want to build or setup some form of dynamic worker provision with cloud docker/kubernetes engine and some form of a static job provisioner. My approach was to setup a Jenkins instance with dynamic docker builders, but that's with local hardware. Jenkins Docker agent tailored to building AUR packages can be found on my Github, but it's not "production ready" i.e. not all hardcode specific to my environment is eliminated and no documentation written yet, but it works pretty well for me.

@mkli, thanks, it fixed my build too.

on a similar note, can anyone suggest a service that offers VM's with 16 CPUs and 64GB ram to build my librewolf with my patches?

Github only offers such a thing for organizations.

Building this package is failing for me during profiling with some errors about DRI3 support missing:

DRI3 not available
failed to load driver: zink
vulkan: No DRI3 support detected - required for presentation

Workaround which works for me is setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true to xvfb-run:

If you get compilation errors like the following:

Compiling packed_simd_2 v0.3.8
error: unrecognized platform-specific intrinsic function: simd_shuffle2

This is due to changing SIMD support in Rust, cf. 1, 2, 3.

For the time being, my workaround is to disable SIMD:

I recently stumbled across the 'firfox-hg' package group and was curious which build options they set on their build. I found some which are interesting and integrated them into my local branch of this package. The resulting binary was 20mb smaller.

Is there some reason why the following aren't set in this PKGBUILD?

ac_add_options --with-system-nspr
ac_add_options --with-system-nss
ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx
ac_add_options --with-system-webp

To fix icon issues in KDE Plasma Wayland, add the following symlink. The desktop file name needs to match the app-id Wayland property.

ln -srvf "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/$pkgname.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/LibreWolf.desktop"
