Instead of building this yourself, please use the repository from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157.

Not only do you skip the very time-consuming builds, but the published package also has debug symbols at Mozilla's crash reports service, which helps tremendously with finding or filing bugs for any crashes you get.

I consider this the canonical firefox-nightly package for Arch Linux.

Alternatively, download Firefox Nightly straight from Mozilla, extract it to a writable place (e.g. ~/.local/firefox-nightly) and let it update itself using the integrated updater.

@xuiqzy No, the debug symbols of the official builds should have identical quality.

@heftig Thanks for providing the build! Does the official build straight from Mozilla also has worse debug symbols than the build from your repo? If so, why, is it about debug symbols of the dependencies?

@spastorino I think I encountered this before, but just worked around it by removing python-psutil from the makedeps, so the build container does not have it installed.

You can try patching the version check like zstandard-0.18.0.diff does for python-zstandard. Please report back if you try this.

That said, please use the prebuilt package for the reasons given in the pinned comment.

It's failing to install for me, python-psutil on system is 5.9.1 but the package requires psutil<=5.8.0,>=5.4.2.

WARNING: You are using pip version 21.2.3; however, version 22.2.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the '/tmp/tmpkzr4yqpt/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

firefox-nightly will now be tracking the Arch build provided by heftig (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117157). The current package will be moved to firefox-nightly-bin instead, and updated to 104 as required.

qumaciel commented on 2022-07-17 14:22 (UTC)

needs a bump to v104.
