Arch BSD Forums / Creating & Modifying Packages

Building Firefox 38

2015-06-05T14:54:55Z

firefox has been upgraded to 38 and has been pushed to the testing repository. It will be a few days before it gets merged into extra as there are other broken packages still.

The complete list of packages are here: http://users.pacbsd.org/~repo/repo-repo … broken.txt

Once they've all been rebuilt it will be merged. The breakage is sue to ncurses and readline being split from world.

Thanks.

The abs in the repo is for syncing with ArchLinux abs so we can use the PKGBUILDS for packaging. If you want our PKGBUILDS run:

git clone https://github.com/ArchBSD/abs

If you want the ArchLinux tree:

~~If it works and you have a github account, it would be nice if you'd fork from https://github.com/ArchBSD/abs, add the files to extra/ and issued a pull-request~~

nevermind... I just saw it, thanks
