Attention: It requires SSE3!

There is also waterfox-g-kpe package with LTO+PGO and SSE2 support and langpacks on my repository on OBS.

Source files at: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/waterfox-g-kpe.

[home_hawkeye116477_waterfox_Arch]
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/Arch/$arch

If you got 404, then temporarily try to replace download.opensuse.org with downloadcontent.opensuse.org. That should enforce direct download without mirror.

key=$(curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/Arch/$(uname -m)/home_hawkeye116477_waterfox_Arch.key)
fingerprint=$(gpg --quiet --with-colons --import-options show-only --import --fingerprint <<< "${key}" | awk -F: '$1 == "fpr" { print $10 }')

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --add - <<< "${key}"
pacman-key --lsign-key "${fingerprint}"

The update 25 hrs ago fixed it for me.

yeah, the checksum is not updated for G6.0.9

cd ~/.cache/paru/clone/waterfox-bin
updkgsums # from pacman-contrib

makepkg -i

root@arch arch → yay -S waterfox-bin

the sha512 of waterfox-G6.0.9.tar.bz2 seems to be wrong, so the package cannot be installed.

Please kindly remove provides=waterfox-g. It doesn't make sense to keep it after the recent name alignments throughout the AUR to name waterfox packages as waterfox, not waterfox-g.

Also AUR/waterfox doesn't provide it (and it shouldn't).

micwoj92 commented on 2023-09-26 21:06 (UTC)

pkgrel should be set to 1

aliu commented on 2023-09-02 14:08 (UTC)

@hawkeye116477 The current-bin package got instant orphaned by @MarsSeed in [PRQ#42365], that package got updated to G5, and the comment is no longer pinned. Should I file a merge request to merge both of these packages to "waterfox-bin"?

aliu commented on 2023-09-02 14:05 (UTC)

Since this has been unfrozen for no reason and sent to the G branch "supports XUL & XPCOM" is inaccurate.

@aliu Earlier Current package weren't updated, first update came after 3 years. That Current was also intended for previous versions, read vcekron's and pinned comment.

aliu commented on 2023-09-01 18:51 (UTC)

Is there a reason pkgrel remains 1?
