Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues.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occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.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).

Fails to build on Manjaro. rustc not working. Please help. 5e2c940f6dac

error making: librewolf

Thanks !

Understood – I'll keep 'em ;)

(I honestly just didn't assume they were needed anymore in the future, but you make a good case – and as long as people are aware of the need to look out for .pacnew files, I see no harm in it :)

Hi @lsf, pelase do not remove:

backup=('usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg'
        'usr/lib/librewolf/distribution/policies.json')

See, it's not the same when you just want overwrite some values, which is what including ~/.librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg at the end of /usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg is meant for, than for commenting out some configs from /usr/lib/librewolf/librewolf.cfg, to get the FF default behavior instead.

For example to get safe browsing back, as it works on FF, the best is just comment out the librewolf configs, instead of specifying URLs, and several string values and the like.

I hope you don't remove those backup lines ever, :)

Thanks a lot !

Hm.. good point.

Never had this problem (with this package, at least), so I'd just naively assumed AUR helpers (like paru, in my case) checked for changes to checksums in the .SRCINFO and re-downloaded files accordingly.

To make all this less error prone, it would make sense to follow your hint, I guess, and do it the

"${pkgver}-${pkgrel}_patch_filename.patch::https://gitlab.com/whatever/patch_filename.patch"
# …
  patch -p1 -i ../${pkgver}-${pkgrel}_patch_filename.patch

way in the next release – thanks!

@lsf Caching sources is a makepkg feature. The names of the patches in this PKGBUILD are not unique and do not even depend on $pkgver, which causes these failures. See the warning in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#source

It looks like Manjaro caches some of the downloaded source files somewhere – I don't know where it does that (or if you've used another AUR helper which does it / maybe even just used makepkg directly somewhere?). Basically you have to make sure that no leftover files from a previous build (like the .patch files for example) are left so the updated files will be downloaded and used instead of the cached ones – which leads to them not passing the checksum validation here (and which would subsequently lead to a failing build later on, probably).

Librewolf fails to build on Manjaro Xfce. If anyone can help or fix this, that would be greatly appreciated.

So basically just having source= and an additional source_aarch64=?

I did not know this was possible – thanks for pointing that out! :)

It is not needed and that are only 2 patch files, you can use source_aarch64=() for that 2 only
