Firefox3 3.0b5 not in unstable at Arch64

Nicky726 · 2008-04-13 21:59:21

It is some time from firefox3 b5 release, but it is not in unstable yet (using Arch64) but i686 had it in the day of release (or so).
I tried to switch some other repos but still no ff3b5 :-( currently i'm using:

Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64

Or have i missed something? :-[

No, it looks like b4 is the latest in the x86_64 repo, you could try this firefox-nightly
With a few changes to the PKGBUILD it should work on x86_64.

EDIT: Or of course you could just get the b4 PKGBUILD from ABS and edit that

In the "[unstable] repo" way. Nicky's looking for it in the official repo.

I guess reading all of the words in the post would have been to my advantage...

Normally, 64 bit repo is a little bit behind i686 one. A week or so of waiting for an update after it has gone up at i686 repo is not at all uncommon.

Though I have to admit, 10 days is kinda long wait. I suggest you gives us a shout if it didn't get update after 20 days or so.

I uploaded Firefox3b5 package for x86_64 to this repo:

[tanis]
Server = http://jakub.markconstable.com/x86_64

It is based on PKGBUILD form [unstable], but with enabled system cairo and nspr,
since those packages are now in versions recent enough (in [extra]).

This repo also includes Amarok 1.4.9.1 for x86_64 (based on PKGBUILD from [extra]).

I'll update it tonight.

EDIT: We recently moved the repos from cvs to svn. That caused the delay.

Nicky726 · 2008-04-14 20:56:41

Thanx everyone...
Looking forward to pacman -Syu when i get to my arch home ;-)

Snowman · 2008-04-15 05:08:29

It could take up to another fews days to have the package available. There's a minor problem with the repo.

SpookyET · 2008-04-15 11:47:24

Try http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15184

Please forgive me for barging into this conversation !

Just installed an arch64 distro & the FF3 in the unstable repository. Everthing seems to work perfectly, except I cannot open files, for instance .PDF. It complains about not having the "associated helper application". I checked the preferences -> applications tab : it's empty and I cannot add anything. In firefox 2, it does work (and if the filetype is unknown, it asks what to do anyway

Any idea ?

cheers !

To mahen: I guess you should make your own thread concerning that isue, so there is some order in here. PS write there some more info about versions, desktop environment you use...

The reason is that the firefox package in Arch is compiled without gnome-vfs support, so it doesn't integrate very well with Gnome. Try spookyets package in AUR instead: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15184

Nicky726 · 2008-04-23 10:13:47

Done pacman -Syu yesterday and ff3 b5 was there :-) so consider this as solved ;-)

To SpookyET: Tried your FF on my ohter computer, it runs OK, just need to find out, why always in safe mode :-/ but i didn't get to it much, cause of exams :-( so it can be just something i forgot in a hurry...

tanis · 2008-04-23 15:39:39

OK, but why is it without --with-system-nspr and --enable-system-cairo options...?
