Before running makepkg, you must do this (as normal user):

$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

If you want to update tor-browser from AUR without AUR helpers you can run in a terminal:

$ tor-browser -u

“My whole browser profile is gone.” This is normal.

Hello again. I updated the package today and my whole browser profile is gone (bookmarks, plugins etc). Is this normal behaviour, a bug or have I done anything wrong?

@GordonGR tor-browser-en now passes arbitrary args to firefox. To use -new-tab you must also remove the "-no-remote" argument from ~/.tor-browser-en/start-tor-browser. This will also decrease your anonymity... @computerwhiz1 thanks! I patched our launch script to do it automatically, but I used "Tor-Browser" because their script breaks on spaces. Bug report here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12161 And for the record, I'm a woman. It's her, not him.

A tip. Tor Browser Bundle version>3 (I guess) does not work with an external tor daemon (e. g. the package "tor" from the official repositories). The error is "Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9150: Address already in use. Is Tor already running?". If you want to, remove the file "$HOME/.tor-browser-$LANG/INSTALL/Data/Browser/profile.default/extensions/tor-launcher@torproject.org.xpi" after upgrading TBB.

Hello Yar. Thanks for maintaining this. Is there something similar to "tor-browser-en -newtab http://www.something.org", so I can put it in xfce control centre?

You can add '--class "Tor Browser" to line 230 in the file '~/.tor-browser-en/start-tor-browser' in order to get the browser to run as its own application rather than calling its self firefox under GNOME 3. I have emailed the maintainer to let him know about this and explaining in better detail what I mean.

You're right, Marcel_K, thank you very much. :-) I used autocomplete (tab) in console, and didn't check the estimated filename.

After packaging the package file is called tor-browser-en-3.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (or something like that). You're trying to install the original source file you downloaded.

makepkg worked like a charm, but I can't install created package: $ sudo pacman -U tor-browser-linux64-3.6.1_en-US.tar.xz loading packages... error: missing package metadata in tor-browser-linux64-3.6.1_en-US.tar.xz error: 'tor-browser-linux64-3.6.1_en-US.tar.xz': invalid or corrupted package I don't know which metadata is missing, as the package generation worked without errors (except one warning): -> Found tor-browser-en.desktop -> Found tor-browser-en.png -> Found tor-browser-en.sh ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... tor-browser-linux64-3.6.1_en-US.tar.xz ...

Am I the only one seeing this problem: ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... tor-browser-linux64-3.6.1_en-US.tar.xz ... Passed tor-browser-linux64-3.6.1_en-US.tar.xz.asc ...

Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build tor-browser-en. It's easily resolved by creating an appropriate symlink in $srcdir manually, since the file is correctly downloaded, but I suspect that should happen automatically.
