Anyone else getting validity check error? firefox-beta-bin.desktop ... Passed firefox-beta-bin-safe.desktop ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build firefox-beta-bin.

I'll confess I missed that! Thanks. In fact, one of the linked pages, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:Checking_For_Updates, describes it in even more detail, and I've checked that the preferences described actually exist and are updated (the Wiki page was last edited 7,5 years ago, so it could have been obsolete ...)

Googling reveals this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update#Downloading_the_Update "Firefox will periodically check the Mozilla.org update servers (AUS) for available updates. The update server will return a manifest file (which is a simple XML file) over HTTPS that will point Firefox at the right update package to download." Too tired to look any further.

Det, I had absolutely no intention to express any disagreement with you! (and maybe that bang should be taken as a yell ... :-) In fact, I find your work pretty awesome. Keep it up, please! I'd be interested in any insights you have into how firefox knows it is time to update. I imagined that it could have been the latest_beta link, but seeing it is not that rigorously maintained, I don't see how it could. Do you?

Btw. seems like they created another folder called "38.0b8-2", which actually is the same as the current "38.0b8": - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/38.0b8/ - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/38.0b8-2/ - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/?C=M;O=D

Don't yell at me.

festerman commented on 2015-04-28 19:15 (UTC)

No criticism intended!!!

Det commented on 2015-04-28 19:09 (UTC)

Okay, I was wrong, calm down.

festerman commented on 2015-04-28 19:08 (UTC)

You think? My FF wanted to update to b8 earlier ...
