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.

SigLevel = Optional

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.

Sorry. Usually I read the comments, but the last I was very busy, personally and professionally. Thank you for the comment and the PKGBUILD. I updated the PKGBUILD with the first version of the Det's package. For the second version, i like the sha512sum hack idea, but I prefer that the user make this manually. I'm open to change, if many people (with arguments) prefer the sha512sum, i can change this. @Det : I have added your name as Contributor, because you wrote the new PKGBUILD.Send me an email if you want that I delete or change something on this line.

Thanks ;)

Det commented on 2011-01-12 13:54 (UTC)

He wouldn't be the only one :). I just mailed him.

@xenom : do you happen to read the comments sometimes ?

I've just tested it and yes, it does not, as expected. The thing is I have asked xenom to add the "-N" option to wget to be able to be able to detect when the file has been changed on the server side. With your sha512sum hack, we do detect it but we need to manually delete the old source file. I understand that having these wget, bsdtar and sha512sum is not really elegant, but at the end of the day the same operations are done ? Aren't they ? @xenom: what do you think about this ? Either way a solution has to be taken because right now the PKGBUILD package the wrong file (download a file and package an older one already there).

Det commented on 2010-12-30 19:16 (UTC)

Ahh, gotcha. Well, I don't think it does. It just says that the checksum failed. But really, since a new trunk build for Firefox is released _daily_ and not like every 10 minutes (as with Chromium), it's good enough. I don't think there's even a way to trick makepkg e.g. to manually check whether the tarball passed the sha512sum check and if it wouldn't it would be replaced with a new one. That won't work because the sha512sum check is done _before_ the "build()" and "package()" functions are executed, meaning.. well, that it just wouldn't work. I(ns)t(ead) _could_ be done that the tarball would *manually* be downloaded and then *manually* checked against the sha512sum in "http://ftp.mozilla.org" but that's just... stupid, if you ask me. The maintainer can choose to do that if he wishes to but I couldn't bring myself to care for that matter even if my life depended on it (just kidding).

cgirard commented on 2010-12-30 18:35 (UTC)

No what I meant is : does makepkg download a new copy of the file if an older version is already downloaded ?

Det commented on 2010-12-30 18:23 (UTC)

Yes it would. But if you look at the upload times you notice that the files are uploaded at the same time. To avoid exactly that.
