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.

@adrinux I did this:
1. Run yay with --editmenu flag.
2. Then edit PKGBUILD file.
3. Change cp -r mercury/ to cp -r mercury_115.3.0_linux_x64
4. Save and then proceed with installation.

@adrinux Same here happening here. I counldn't manually find mercury/ directory as well.

Yay fails to build the latest update

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
cp: cannot stat 'mercury/': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: mercury-browser-bin-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
mercury-browser-bin - exit status 4

Edit: There is no 'mercury/' directory to move anymore, upstream has moved all the files up a level. so 'copy -R mercury/' etc is failing.
