Plans for Waterfox Alpha packages? #27

Closed notpushkin closed 5 years ago

notpushkin commented 5 years ago

Hi there! First of all, thanks for the hard work you're doing maintaining this repository :) I was wondering if you have any plans on adding Waterfox Alpha packages (68.0.1a at the moment) to the repo?

hawkeye116477 commented 5 years ago

Problem is that currently not all Ubuntu releases has needed packages to compile waterfox-alpha (cbindgen, node.js 11). Cbindgen is only on Disco and Eoan. The highest Nodejs version is 10.15.2 on Disco, waterfox-alpha supposedly requires node 8.14+, but currently it doesn't compile with nodejs8 and nodejs10, errors appear, only nodejs11 and 12 works correct :smile: On Debian problem is even more complicated, because stable Debian doesn't have that new required packages.

For now, I'm consider making rpm package for SUSE Leap and AppImage based on it.

If I understand correctly, Node.js is compile-time only dependence? Perhaps installing it via Nodesource on the build server would be an acceptable solution for the time being? (I'm not sure if OBS allows that though)

hawkeye116477 commented 5 years ago

@notpushkin Yes, it's build-depend. Unfortunately it's not possible to install that on OBS. I'll see what I can do, maybe I'll try to make nodejs12 and cbindgen for Ubuntu Bionic+.

Update: It seems that there is another problem, it requires rustc 1.34, but that version isn't on Ubuntu official repos currently. It's only on Ubuntu Mozilla PPA.

Ok, it seems that works fine with nodejs8, but previously I tried latest commit, now I tried from tag. But for now LTO will be disabled on Xenial, cuz I got undefined reference to gMozillaPoisonValue and then linker fails, for other Ubuntu versions it works fine. For now no package for Debian 9, cuz it hasn't required node and nasm version, but it will rather come, I just probably port it, as I did for CentOS. Now I'm doing rebuild and should be available today much later :smile: It will be 68.0a1 with few patches made from laniakea64 PRs and Unity menu integration.

@notpushkin Good news for you. Package for Debian 10, Testing, Unstable, Ubuntu Xenial, Bionic, Disco and Eoan (Next) is ready now :smile: It should work better than official tar as I added patches from merged PRs after first alpha.

hawkeye116477 commented 5 years ago

Now I have all depends for Debian 9, so soon will be published with LTO+PGO after announcement of Alpha 2 on official website. For other distros also now will be with LTO & PGO, it seems that with new version I has more successful builds with LTO & PGO :smile:
