PKGBUILD has been updated. Major changes:

  • Downloads Firefox ESR and localization using the source array. Files are saved for reuse.
  • Saves freshly patched IceCat sources in a tarball for reuse.
  • Saves the PGO profile for reuse.

Notes:

  • Currently requires clang/llvm 17, which has to be built from AUR.
  • Wayland users, consider setting _build_pgo_xvfb=false. This will use xwayland-run for profiling.
  • PGO should work now, but if it doesn't and you're willing to go without, try _build_pgo=false.
  • Running out of RAM? Try adding mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=___ around line 300. Pick a value less than number of cores and free RAM in GB. For example, on a system with 8 cores, 64GB total RAM, but only 6 GB free, the value should be set to 4 or 5.
    • If a few people can confirm this is helpful, I will consider adding it as an additional option.
    • Main resource hog seems to be linking libxul.so. Leave a comment if you have a potential solution.

Having problems? Please provide details: processor make and model, number of cores, free -m, full log in pastebin, whether using AUR helper/makepkg/clean chroot, etc.

@cysp74 can you test the new version please?

figue commented on 2021-02-17 22:19 (UTC)

@cysp74 maybe the rust 1.50 patch introduce another issues with videos. I can confirm that... let me see if the issue is reported in Mozilla.

cysp74 commented on 2021-02-17 19:17 (UTC)

-3 version crashes me (segv) on various sites, eg. youtube, fb (when trying to play some video). I tried w/ new, fresh profile, nothing has changed. -2 works flawlessly for me.

@figue It seems to be working fine now. I probably had trouble connecting to the server because I was on a VPN...

figue commented on 2021-02-17 15:23 (UTC)

@sp1d3rmxn already done 99cad937c332

Thanks to report anyway :)

sp1d3rmxn commented on 2021-02-17 15:22 (UTC)

@figue I forgot to mention this package needs the patch for rust_1.50 as well like the firefox-esr package... Am able to get this successfully built after adding it. Might fix/help some of the folks currently having issue.

figue commented on 2021-02-17 12:07 (UTC)

@Eikcaz seems your gpg can not connect to the server. I've pushed a quick fix to PKGBUILD, update it please.

Then check line 43 of PKGBUILD:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=icecat#n43

If you uncomment that line, the build process will ignore the gpg check part (if you trust your downloaded source, there shouldn't be any problem).

el1x commented on 2021-02-17 04:56 (UTC)

@figue perfect. Build success, thank you

@figue I tried it just now and I got:
