Firefox-Nightly

It was removed a while back.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-nightly/

Looks like it's very outdated... I know how to do the basics, like changing the package version/source URL and adding patches, etc... but updating destination folders/install files/permissions is out of my league. I'm also a little confused as to what Firefox actually depends on.

Mozilla started adding .mar files for the x86_64 nightly builds a few months back so this package has become somewhat interesting again.

Any takers? I have cookies...

Edit: Scratch that, it seems to work fine if you just bump the version and change the dependencies. *facepalm*

Re: Firefox-Nightly

I guess you could submit firefox-nightly with your update, if the usefulness of that build outweighs the confusion and clutter that yet another firefox build brings.

Note, we already have firefox-hg: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17820 , but that one requires you to compile it.

Re: Firefox-Nightly

Well, I'm not interested in maintaining something that I don't really understand.

The only thing I did to get it to build was bump the version to 3.1a2pre, add x86_64 to the arch array, changed the source line to use ${arch} and changed the dependencies so that they were the same as the firefox-spookyet package in the AUR.

I think I had to copy/symlink /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox-nightly to /usr/bin/firefox-nightly as well.
