[NEW]:firefox 1.0rc1 PKGBUILD and package

ganlu · 2004-10-29 11:51:57

I have refresh my post so you don't need sroll to the bottom for it.
Not really much to say, there is PKGBUILD, since I don't like to mess up my opt directory by many of mozilla.org's package, I change original PKGBUILD and mozconfig a little to put firefox under /opt/mozilla, and link as firefox, so you may type firefox instead of mozilla-firefox to run it. BTW, bug 257188 has been fixed, so I delete such part in the PKGBUILD.

You need original mozilla-firefox-nonroot.tar.gz and mozilla-firefox.run to run 'makepkg', steal them from abs tree.
What's more, there is my firefox.desktop, thanks for Neo

You have to download firefox-nonroot.tar.gz from here,
ftp://anonymous@ftp.archlinux.org:21/incoming/firefox-nonroot.tar.gz
or you can make it yourself.

For someone doesn't wanna compile it, here is ascar's compiled one:

Have a fun.

Extension System Warning: Failed to set up default extensions files probably because you do not have write privileges to this location. While you can run Firefox like this, it is recommended that you run it at least once with privileges that allow it to generate these initial files to improve start performance. Running from a disk image on MacOS X is not recommended.

You can run firefox under root for one time and solve the problem, but it seems previous solution of extension permission no longer working, does everybody have any hints? Does it give more potential security risk by simply changing the permission of extension and chrome folders?

ganlu · 2004-10-30 18:10:25

New revised PKGBUILD,
1. Simply it. The mozilla-firefox.run file is no longer needed, because the . firefox own start script of new version has been improved and doesn't have such problem. Put firefox under /opt/mozilla again with reference to openoffice package(it is under /opt/openoffice instaed of /opt/openoffice.org).
2. Automatically install menu entry(firefox.desktop) for gnome and kde.
3. Still not solve extension permission problem, anyone has any clue please help!!

In 20-30 minutes or so, you will find a package based on this PKG-build on my workstation - here.
have fun!

edit:
the package is up.
time to restart this browser ^_^

ganlu · 2004-10-31 11:20:05

The problem that firefox complains when you run as a non root user has been solved. I runed firefox as root, then remove the firefox package by pacman -R, I found there are some data left. I compressed such data as firefox-nonroot.tar.gz (kept root permission of these data for security reason), and solved the problem the same way as original Nick Penwarden and Dale Blount solution. For details look at the PKGBUILD and firefox-nonroot.tar.gz and original mozilla-firefox-nonroot.tar.gz. Please run 'makepkg' as root, or you can't compile the package. Not my fault anyway.
NOW, everything just works.

You have to download firefox-nonroot.tar.gz from here,
http://linuxsir.com/bbs/attachment.php?s=&postid=881738
or find it in ArchLinux incoming ftp:
ftp://anonymous@ftp.archlinux.org:21/incoming/firefox-nonroot.tar.gz
or you can make it yourself.

ascar:
If you use my PKGBUILD, I think it's better to re-package it.

oscar · 2004-10-31 11:24:58

repackage it?
huh?

I simply compiled it, and uploaded the pkg on my http

ganlu · 2004-10-31 11:32:06

Oh, well, I mean re-compile it.

oscar · 2004-10-31 11:34:49

I haven't had any problems with running it as a non-root user...
anyways, I'll recompile it ASAP

I can't download firefox-nonroot, btw.

ganlu · 2004-11-01 03:09:57

I have upload it into arch ftp incoming, you can find it there, the second link.

punkrockguy318 · 2004-11-05 15:14:01

rc2 is out

contrasutra · 2004-11-05 19:44:40

You're not supposed to upload packages to INCOMING that are:
(a) already in the repos (firefox)
(b) would never be accepted into the repos (an RC?)

It's not your personal storage space, bandwidth is tight already.

Also, I thought awhile ago we decided to only upload PKGBUILDs and the scripts, not actual packages, since that's a security risk among other things. I mean, who would run an unknown binary?

celeron2002 · 2004-11-05 23:41:55

this pkgbuild works with rc2???
changing de url for the sources of rc2, obviously...

dammit · 2004-11-06 01:58:12

Why is that freetype2 is disabled? isnt the better enable this to give better fonts?

contrasutra · 2004-11-06 02:15:41

I think it's replaced by Xft, which uses Freetype2 to provide pretty fonts. I'm not sure though; the mozilla build process is a bit convoluted.

I don't upload firefox, I upload firefox-nonroot.tar.gz into incoming, which is just about 40k. The firefox mentioned is in oscar's ftp. I know what incoming should contain. Thank you for your reminder but you misunderstand my word.
I don't see rc2 source released, so it's possibly you can't make a rc2 build.
Freetype2 is not needed, if xft enabled, I have heard one of firefox dev said. Of course, you can enable it but that can't give you any advantage.

tgc · 2004-11-07 14:04:16

Is there any known reason why the offcial archlinux firefox packages isn't updated? It seems a bit weird that archlinux is 2 releases behind on such an high-profile package!!

KalephOne · 2004-11-08 01:43:10

maybe because firefox 1.0 final is scheduled for November 9.

we were not two releases after - the 'releases' you spoke of where experimental RCs.

So was the preview release which is currently the newest version of firefox availble through pacman, so i don't see that as an valid excuse...

any word on when the official packages for firefox and thunderbird will be updated? i am getting anxious... i thought arch was all about not feeling anxious...!

whining about bleeding edge versions is a thing you do within the gentoo desktop community, not here

After changing the version to 1.0 and updating the path for the sources, this package works fine for me. Thanks ganlu!

The new source link should be:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/f … ce.tar.bz2

A warning, it seems installing themes is not working.

After trying out Firefox 1.0 though, I'm still experiencing it as buggy and am missing some features that are in Mozilla. Like I can't see where to configure inline autocomplete which is off in Firefox, I can't move my cursor in input field with the cursor keys (it just seems locked, though I can type), and when I open a new tab with Ctrl+T it fails to get selected. Not to mention Ctrl+clicking links does exactly the same as the broken Ctrl+T, failing to open the page at all.

Bjørn · 2004-11-20 16:26:47

Ok, forget about all that, and don't forget to remove your firefox profile when you experience similar problems! I don't know how old my profile was, but it was the culprit of all the above problems. Things seem to be working fine now that I did "rm -rfv ~/.mozilla/firefox", also theme installing works fine.
