To drop autoconf2.13, alternatively just wait next month until 33.2.0, I cherry picked these patches for gtk3 version.

1) afaik building in clean chroot throws away everything after it's done, so I'm redownloading the git repo each time 2) cannot build at the moment: http://pastebin.com/8drEifiK any tips for what's wrong? O:-)

runical commented on 2017-01-24 13:17 (UTC)

@WorMzy: No worries. This clears it up nicely. Your example is quite compelling, although I feel that downloading the tarball would be no real problem for me personally. On the other hand, the initial git clone isn't all that much bigger/slower on a decent connection, so that is no real problem either when keeping the sources. The main problem will be with people who get rid of their sources after the build (which is the case with many AUR helpers iirc). Anyway, I'd say do what you think best. The PKGBUILD is of high quality from what I can tell, so no further complaints here :-P

WorMzy commented on 2017-01-23 17:14 (UTC)

@runical, I didn't mean to imply that it was your personal objection, and I also phrased it badly to make it seem the objection was to using github at all. Sorry about that! My main reason for using git source over the tarballs is that palemoon frequently gets point releases to fix minor bugs/backout problematic patches, so if I was using tarballs, you'd need to download ~160MB tarballs every time. With the git source, you have an initial checkout of ~290MB (which is only 1.5x the size of a tarballs), and for any subsequent updates you just get the changes. So to compare tarballs to git in a real world example, PM 27.0.0 was tagged on 17th November 2016. It's tarball is 164MB. PM 27.0.1 was tagged nine days later. It's tarball is also 164MB. Six days later, PM 27.0.2 was tagged. Again, the tarball is 164MB. 13 days later, PM 27.0.3. I'll let you guess the size. So in 28 days, using tarballs, we would have downloaded 656MB. If someone started using the palemoon package on the day that it was updated to 27.0.0, they would've had the initial checkout of ~292MB. Using git diff as a rough estimate, the 27.0.1 update would have needed them to download 68KB. The 27.0.2 update would download 20K. 27.0.3 is 64K. So in 28 days, using git, we have downloaded ~292.152MB. I really, really don't want to switch to tarballs unless there is a very good reason for it.

runical commented on 2017-01-23 10:24 (UTC)

Wouldn't it though? By using the tarballs on GH, you will get an error when the tarball changes due to the checksum. The argument I made (by proxy, as it was Levente who made the argument) was against using tagged commits instead of the direct hash of said commit when using a git checkout as a tag can point to whatever commit you want. Using the tarball provided by GH does not suffer from this problem as the download is verified by the checksum and the tarball has to be rebuilt after changing the tag. I do see how you can take away that I'm against using GH now I reread my comments. Seems I wasn't clear in what I meant. Sorry about that :s Unless I'm misunderstanding though. Then feel free to correct me as it's been a while since that comment and I haven't actively thought about it since.

WorMzy commented on 2017-01-21 12:08 (UTC)

You may. But this wouldn't deal with the potential for tag altering (which runical raised as an objection to using github as a source), so is this simply an objection to cloning the full repository the first time you build the package? If so, what do you object to about doing that?

auscompgeek commented on 2017-01-21 09:37 (UTC)

May I suggest using the tarballs that GitHub provides, rather than a git clone?

WorMzy commented on 2017-01-08 18:52 (UTC)

I think that's a pretty big "if". ;) Neither the firefox and chromium packages in extra/, for example, do this. So I am disinclined to add a file that may cause problems now, in the hopes that it prevents/works around other problems down the line.

sekret commented on 2017-01-08 18:42 (UTC)

True! But what if in some future there comes a package which depends on palemoon libs? Wouldn't it be good to be safe for the future, especially if it can be achieved with one tiny little file?

WorMzy commented on 2017-01-08 18:27 (UTC)

For what purpose? Palemoon knows where to find these libraries, and nothing else should be using them (particularly in the case of libraries provided by other packages, e.g. libnss3.so, provided by core/nss)

sekret commented on 2017-01-08 16:29 (UTC)

Could you please add a file which contains /usr/lib/palemoon to "$pkgdir/etc/ld.so.conf.d/palemoon.conf"?
