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.

Fix for newest nightly's PKGBUILD: line 49: install -m644 "${srcdir}/firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps/${pkgname}-icon.png" instead of: install -m644 "${srcdir}/firefox/icons/mozicon128.png" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps/${pkgname}-icon.png"

@hOx: If you are still looking for a way to get an updated nightly everyday, I have found 2 solutions for this. 1) You just invoke "yaourt -S firefox-nightly" every day. 2) You build up an FTP server (e.g. proftp), package the *.desktop files and a PKGBUILD in a repo.db and a repo.abs.db archive, add your local repo to /etc/pacman.conf, rename the package firefox-nightly-git (so yaourt thinks it is a git package), install "abs" on your system and then you daily invoke "yaourt -Syu --devel" to let yaourt rebuild the git packages (including firefox-nightly-git) every day. You just have to adapt the major version number in the PKGBUILD files when it changes.

So you want it to whine more? Every single time there's a new daily build? Sorry, I'm not getting it either :D. 19.0a1 is the latest "major" one so you can't be using 18.0a1 with just the same timestamp either. E: Oooh, firefox _itself_. Well yeah, it's better to disable the auto check instead of daily rebuilding this thing for everybody else too.

OK I understand now. What you are looking for is Options/Advanced/Updates there you can untick update check for FF.

What is there not to understand ? Mozilla rolls out a new package every day when it is being automatically rebuilt. The aur package only asks for an upgrade when the major version changes not just the timestamp. This triggers firefox to whine that it's not up-to-date.

cgirard commented on 2012-10-18 10:36 (UTC)

I do not understand. What are you asking? Being prompted every day for a rebuild or not being?

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-10-18 10:31 (UTC)

lolol xD I'm using yaourt, what do you suggest, I manually prompt for a reinstall every day when there's a new build ?

Det commented on 2012-10-18 10:19 (UTC)

Lololol. Get a better AUR tool.

I have flagged the package out-of-date as it keeps bugging me for an update. I think the package version should include the timestamp as well as the major and minor versions.
