Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues.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occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.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

Compiling this crashes my compositor, not sure why (is this a known issue?). Moved to tty and I'm getting a could not compile gkrust error.

There was new release https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/releases/tag/125.0.1-1

@OdinVex Then build in a chroot rather than building directly in your environment: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

OdinVex commented on 2024-03-17 13:25 (UTC)

Anyone else getting popup windows of a non-install template LibreWolf while compiling? Obviously a part of the "testing" of stuff, but I'd like to avoid that and assume tests are fine.

After the initial instrumented build, a python script is launched inside a nested X (or wayland) server (xvfb or xwayland-run) to run and profile the browser. If anything goes wrong, like the x server crashing, the profiling stage fails. Then the entire PGO process has to start over with the instrumented build.

The DRI/Zink problem is probably caused by missing access to acceleration hardware. LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true forces software rendering. Since multiple people across multiple Firefox forks have been affected, forcing software rendering by default is worthwhile to prevent people from losing hours of time and wasted resources.

Also, pkgrel shouldn't be bumped for changes that don't affect the final package because people who already successfully built the package don't need to rebuild.

@lahwaacz: thanks. will fix it. sorry.

@xiota: do you have some good explanation / some more info about the background of this option and why it causes issues? (or if you felt like it, you could open an issue / PR on https://codeberg.org/librewolf/ right away, of course ;)

xiota commented on 2024-03-01 21:38 (UTC)

Enough people have had problems with DRI/zink across different Firefox forks that would be better to set by default LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=true. Profiling probably takes a little longer, but that's better than having it fail after 1/3 of the process (hours on some machines) and have to restart.

lahwaacz commented on 2024-03-01 21:32 (UTC)

@lsf In the last commit you've put a comment in the middle of a "multi-line command", which breaks it into separate commands (the variables before the comment are not applied to the xvfb-run command).

lsf commented on 2024-03-01 16:27 (UTC)

Oh, I've totally missed that something didn't work right when I pushed the update. Very sorry about that! Should that happen again some day, please feel free to remind me more! (here, on codeberg, or matrix).

I'll get to it right away! :)
