Thanks, I 'll try that.
If I click on the repo link there http://linux.palemoon.org/
I only get the options for the GTK2 build.
It uses this link: https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... e=palemoon

GTK 3's in a different repo because of some quirks in the way the Build Service creates the user's directions to add the repo depending on the package name.
Some have suggested that I split palemoon into a palemoon-gtk2 and a palemoon-gtk3 package, but it's easy to suggest when someone else does the work, plus those changes would still require more changes to the instructions than my simple addition of a GTK 3 repo. But I agree that the GTK 3 repo should be added.
As for why I don't do GTK 2 versions for Sid and Hirsute, it's because GTK 2 is on its way out, if that's news to you.

Hi Steve,
got a reference to this thread from a another thread regarding a question of mine.
Hope it's ok if i post my question here:
I'm in need of palemoon 29.1.1 .deb binary packages for debian 10, debian testing (the upcomming debian 11) and for raspbian.
Is there a archive with older versions of your palemoon builds?
On the palemoon-site i can only find a reference to the suse-download site (https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... e=palemoon), wich only contains builds of the actual palemoon version.
Greetings.

Or you could set up your own free OBS repo for Hirsute and have it build you a GTK 2 version--you can use the same sources as for the other distros' GTK 2 version, but you'll have to change the last line in debian/mozconfig so it only builds with one thread--something to do with the version of "make" in hirsute and sid seems to require that.

No, there isn't any archive of the older versions as far as I know. It probably could be recreated with some work, or the MX repository manager usually hangs onto older MX packages just in case someone needs them. I build Pale Moon packages for MX in standard Debian schroots, and I think Debian 10 armhf builds are good for Raspian 10. I didn't do any Raspian 9 armhf builds, though.
Even if users aren't signed onto the OBS, with some link following, they can get into the download repo and get any file in it, including the debianized source, but once I delete the older source files, they and the binaries they generate are gone baby gone.
I'll ask our repo manager if he still has the older MX debs.
29.2.1 packages are ready in my repos now, though.
Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
Hello @stevepusser first of all, thanks for your work.
I use Debian testing and I have the repositories configured and I am not updated to the new version 29.2.1.
In all versions of Debian and those of Ubuntu, the new version 29.2.1 has been available for a long time, but in Debian testing, it follows 29.2.0.
https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... e=palemoon
Please, you could upload it when you can.
Thanks.
Greetings.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
It is not available, because the automatic build fails. You can read log here https://build.opensuse.org/package/live ... ing/x86_64
I don't know obs/debian that much so I don't know what exactly these errors means. It is called "testing" after all, so such fails are much more common ;p

Ok thank you very much for the clarification, we will have to wait then for them to solve it, the versions prior to this have been working, so it will be something specific.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
Apparently the same problematic "make" that was in Sid has now made it into Testing, and that requires that PM be compiled with one thread instead of as many as your build machine can handle. So the fix was to just use the same mozconfig for testing that I was already using for the Sid builds.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
I'd like to see that .mozconfig please. I cannot download the sources from the opensuse site.
- Is the python version used to build 2.7?
Is there a way to scale UI elements 2-2.5x?
Is there a finger-scroll option available in config or build options?

Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
Found it!
export GDK_SCALE=2
This is minimum scale to hit elements reliably with finger. Under our Hildon-WM, the toggle for fullscreen-web-content doesn't work (see below).
I haven't yet found a way to scroll around the preferences window. Neither pgup/pgdown, mouse wheel, nor arrow keys work for me. [EDIT1]
Killing Hildon-WM and running openbox, fullscreen toggle (F11) gets a full webpage with no gui elements.
It shouldn't be too hard to find-out how to talk to hildon-WM to set this.
[Note] This is handled in /platform/widget/gtk/nsWindow.cpp nsWindow::MakeFullScreen()
[EDIT2]
Scrolling with arrow keys is perfect. Perfect scroll speed.
[EDIT3]
Firefox gestures and finger-drag can be enabled with environment variable MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1. Is there something equivalent for Pale Moon?

You'll have to ask the devs about the gestures...
The OBS does let anyone download source files, even if they aren't signed in, but you have to click the links to get into the specific download directory. I don't know exactly which Ubuntu your phone is using, so here's a link to the 21.04. Basically, the last line in the debian/mozconfig limits how many threads are used, and if that's commented out, PM uses all available. I use a simple test in debian/rules to determine which debian/mozconfig* file gets copied to the PM source root and is used. I limit all OBS builds to four thread maximum, because their armhf VM's don't have a lot of resources and can run out of memory. https://download.opensuse.org/repositor ... ntu_21.04/
Yes, it uses python 2.7, which is available in all Ubuntu versions that aren't EOL.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
I had to add back the fix-arm-build.patch to the 29.4.0.1 source I obtained via the git recipe in order to try and get successful builds on that platform. I'll have to check the OBS tomorrow to see if that worked; the armhf (armv71) builds there are extremely slow.
I had been assuming that fix had made it into the 29.4. code.

I don't know what fix you are talking about. If you want stuff upstreamed then you should make use of the repo. make an issue, offer a PR following the contribution guidelines re: commit messages, etc.

I do. Yeah, sorry about that. Just continue to spot patch it for this round. I have been quite busy and keeping things all in my head is a full time job.
Re: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories
This is indeed a long thread and this is probably already covered...
I just did clean install of debian bullseye based iso (bodhi linux legacy 6.0beta) and there appears to be no debian 11 source repository for palemoon. Before I did clean install I had installed palemoon succesfully a long time ago while bullseye was still in testing and used 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... n_Testing/ /' and that worked, but doesn't seem to work on release version. So I tried changing "Testing" to "11" and that didnt work either. I then changed it to "10" and I was able to install palemoon.... but don't think this is probably the right way to do things....
(On an unrelated note, it was yesterday I tried this, so before I hit "submit" on this post I just double checked it wasnt already listed or something on https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... e=palemoon and it seems like if i recall right yesterday it even had version 8 but now it only has versions 9 and 10).

Apparently the package for Ubuntu 18.04 x64 is missing as I'm typing this; the link goes 404.
The corresponding x86 package is available though - and so are all others - so it may just be a naming problem or something - unless it failed to compile.
Steve, could you please double-check? Thank you.

We know.. I'll be building them this time around.. here in a few since Travis is MIA again. Hope everything is ok with him. Regardless, this isn't the first time linux builds have had a delay and it is just as well seeing as an out-of-band release happened as well.
Stay tuned.
