[Request] Xulrunner 1.9

Since Conkeror now depends on Xulrunner 1.9 I'm using the precompiled xulrunner-binaries at the moment.
This is very un-arch....

Unfortunately there are so many patches in the current PKGBUILD, that I have no idea what i can remove, etc. and how to build my own.

Anyone here to help me ?

BTW.: Conkeror is GREAT ! They have removed the slow number-indexing and integrated new functions to follow links: Old number-indexing activated by hotkey, pattern matching, etc. ....

Re: [Request] Xulrunner 1.9

I would like to second this request.

After reading this: http://hackety.org/2008/02/29/conkerorComesUnstuck.html, I really want to try out Conkeror. Unfortunately I was not able to get it working.

It would be nice to have seperate Conkeror package also

Re: [Request] Xulrunner 1.9

I tried to look into this request, and after looking around a bit, it turns out that development sources (just release sources) are not publicly available at the moment. As such, I didn't manage to get my hands on a copy of the v1.9 source tree. Anyway, if you want xulrunner 1.9, at the moment the solution seems to be using the precompiled binaries (yes, I know that's exactly what the OP was asking about getting around). I suppose it's possible that asking very nicely at irc.mozilla.org - #xulrunner might get you a copy of the source from someone hanging out there, but not necessarily.

Anyway, good luck! I'm looking forward to this being in Arch as well--I'm curious to see what's been added to Conkeror since the days it was a Firefox extension!

^^ http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mo … de_Via_CVS
Short:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot login
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk
$ cd mozilla
$ MOZ_CO_PROJECT=xulrunner make -f client.mk checkout
And compile it

I have no idea how to compile it, it's chaotic. Anyway, that's how to get the source. At least, that SHOULD get the source.

Good luck!
