Warning: At the time of this writing, Mercury browser has not been updated for CVE-2024-9680. There have been "reports of this vulnerability being exploited in the wild."

Users are strongly recommended to use a fork that has been updated.

This package uses the SSE3 version because benchmarks on my computers show there is no performance benefit from using the AVX/AVX2 versions.

  • This is an autoupdating package that attempts to download and package the latest version available.

    • Rebuilding should be sufficient to package new releases.
    • Check that there is actually a new release at Alex313031/Mercury.
    • To make the declared version, set environment variable _autoupdate=false

  • Avoid flagging and commenting at the same time for the same issue.

    • Flag for common issues with standard solutions, like broken update or changed download locations.
    • Comment for issues requiring explanation or debugging.
    • Use a pastebin for blocks of text more than a few lines.

Ok, I've made a dumb fix and hopefully will remove it in the next release if there are no more problems

This package seems to be broken again, the newly updated linux ZIP file seems to have nested directories, and I need to modify the PKGBUILD, replacing this line:

cp -r mercury_${pkgver}_linux_x64/mercury/ "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname

with:

cp -r mercury_${pkgver}_linux_x64/mercury_${pkgver}_linux_x64/mercury/ "$pkgdir"/opt/$_pkgname

Other than that, a bunch of executables don't have the executable bit set anymore, so I have to go in and set them manually (mercury, mercury-bin, glxtest, vaapitest).

@andrew7 fixed

symbolic links in /usr/bin/ are broken in v115.4.0 update. package build in pkg folder extracts to mercury_115.3.0_linux_x64 folder

@digital_mystik I guess you should ask the developer to provide checksums. Because I don't see much sense adding checksums myself, since file downloaded on my machine can be corrupted or compromised. Also it's easier to bump versions without checksums for me.

hello, any chance of adding the archive checksum to the PKGBUILD? thanks

@sandboiii Thanks for maintenance.

Thank you all for notification. I've changed the directory name in the PKGBUILD
