The maxVersion patch needs to be updated for FF 34. I'd recommend the following instead which will last for *much* longer regardless of what upstream does with it: sed -i 's/maxVersion="[^"]*/maxVersion="40/' pentadactyl/install.rdf I chose 40 as an arbitrarily higher number than the current version, and it will replace any number that used to be there rather than only matching 25, or 27.

Sector9: Thanks for the heads up. I'll update the pkgbuild when I have time tomorrow. Explanation: the "maxVersion fix" line is sometimes needed, when upstream pentadactyl has not yet updated the maxVersion setting after a new release of Firefox. Example: for the last few months, the install.rdf file from upstream had maxVersion=25 while the latest Firefox was 26/27/28. Now they have updated their install.rdf file to maxVersion=31, and the fix is not needed. In the future when Firefox 32 comes out, upstream will (perhaps) be slow to update install.rdf, and the fix will be needed again.

My mistake the buff tabs appearence only changed due to a version difference in Firefox skins. I commented the line: #sed -i (maxVersion="25/maxVersion="27) This fixes compatability issues during Firefox version updates. I do not understand the purpose of this like in the PKGBUILD. Can someone please explain?

The new buff tabs look elegent. Simple but pretty. I am not sure if the previous fix still works for Firefox 27. The part of the line reads: maxVersion="25/maxVersion="27

Adopted :) As I said, this is my first time maintaining, so everyone feel free to point out mistakes.

That would be very awesome. I've added the fix and orphaned the package. Have fun with it, and thanks for taking over! :)

Well, now the fix is needed again with Firefox 26. Add sed -i 's/maxVersion="25/maxVersion="26/' pentadactyl/install.rdf before the "make -C pentadactyl xpi" line. @Runiq: If no-one else volunteers, I could maintain this package. Note that I've never done that before, but I know my way around hg and building stuff.

Oh dear, oh dear, I'm sorry. I've been busy with stuff, so I haven't paid attention to the mail piling up in my inbox, sorry! I've removed the two offending lines and hope the package works again. However, I'm not using Pendadactyl anymore and switched back to Vimperator a while ago. If anybody would like to take over maintainership of this package, drop me a line and I'd orphan it.

Sector9: Just remove these two lines from the PKGBUILD: # Fix maxVersion for Firefox 22.0 sed -i (...)

Sector9 commented on 2013-10-24 00:43 (UTC)

I am also having compatability issues with > ff 22.0. Does there exist a fix?
