I don't know if this will help, or is already known, but my 32.3.0 gcc-12 armv71 (armhf) builds are failing right at the end during linking with

gcc-12 armv71 (armhf) builds are failing right at the end during linking with

Maybe more system functions having been split out into separate system libs as gcc has been doing? I don't know. Maybe someone more familiar with gcc can weigh in.

[stevenpusser]

I'll try gcc-11 builds on armhf with 32.3.1 and cross my fingers.

Hello Steven,

thanks a lot for maintaining all these Debian related builds!

For the Debian packages, maybe there might be an interest to include a man page for palemoon?

Please see attachments for some drafts of 'palemoon.1' and the accompanying 'debian/palemoon.manpages' file.
Please strip the .txt extension for both files to possibly use them as intended after evaluation.

And while we are at it, when updating the package lists via 'apt-get update' there is repeatedly a variation of following error message:

Code: Select all

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Is this possibly caused by the reasons outlined in the section namend INTERRUPTING of the reprepro man page?

Hope this helps!

Please ignore that part of my former message and kindly feel encouraged to pardon my ignorance:

As it turned out, this issue was caused by a faulty interaction between the local apt-cacher-ng package proxy used here and the repository at download.opensuse.org.

I am glad the error was found on my own side so that i could fix it myself.

[stevenpusser]

Thanks for the man pages!

I wonder if the Pale Moon developers could include it in the source, so then the debian/manpages file could just list that for install.

[Moonchild]

UXP has a /docs directory for documentation, although I don't know how portable man pages would be.
We have thus far stuck with cross-platform markdown.

[moonbat]

Is Steve on a break? I haven't seen any updates since 32.4.0.1. I've been using the GTK3 version till now and noticed that the repository URLs have changed, but even after updating it I don't see any new versions.

[Drugwash]

@moonbat: Dunno if it's of any help to you but following your heads up about repository change I performed the address update by following the steps indicated at your link, and the new 32.4.1 version popped up in the list.
Also had to manually delete the old entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list.

For what it's worth I'm using Mint 19.2 Cinnamon with the gm10 tools (Update Manager and the rest).

[seriousness]

I guess this is the same issue that I mentioned here:
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&p=244479#p244479
I don't see that the URLs for xUbuntu_22.04 have changed.
Now I get the error that download.opensuse.org is unreachable...

[moonbat]

Now I get the error that download.opensuse.org is unreachable...

Must be a network error at your end, the website opens fine. Try again and see.

[seriousness]

Not at my end, I could not ping download.opensuse.org .

The network error is fixed, but still no v32.4.1

[moonbat]

but still no v32.4.1

Ditto

This reminds me—is there a recommended way to migrate between the likes of Steve Pusser's build and the stand-alone tarball without needing to redo anything with one's profile?

I previously mentioned that I like the tarball's function of notifying of updates and, as an experiment, I tried directly replacing the /usr/lib/palemoon folder (after renaming the existing one of course) with that from the tarball and it seemed to "just work", but there were two quirks I ran into that I swear didn't use to occur (mega.nz is essentially completely broken and uploading attachments on github doesn't work at allll) that I an uncertain if they're due to this method and I've been wanting to do more apples-to-apples testing when Steve Pusser pushed a 32.4.1 build but, well...

Also, after discovering that automatic updates in mintUpdate ignores the blacklist, this has me strongly considering changing my other PCs that are still using Steve Pusser's builds over to the tarball builds just so I can have automatic browser updates again without worrying about various blacklisted packages getting automatically updated.

...though that reminds me of another niggle with my test-case: I couldn't apply updates via the built-in updater without running Pale Moon as root. If you're just using the build-in updater for notifications like I do on my personal computer then that's not a big deal, for for automatic updates like I do on my other PCs then that's obviously not going to work and I'll need to store the tarball's extracted contents elsewhere in order for those automatic updates to actually get installed (is there a better place to put the program other than the "home" directory? I've previously been told years ago that such a location is a poor choice security-wise, but I'm sure many of us Linux users know that there's a lot of "security theater and FUD" out there, so...)

You have to understand it's one or the other. it's not FUD or theater in this case, either.
Either you install the program in a protected location which requires elevated privileges to update the program files, or you install the program in a freely writeable location that doesn't require special privileges. The former is a lot more secure from a program integrity standpoint, but does require the appropriate rights to perform an update. My guess is elevation on Linux will be difficult to streamline.

Sorry, I don't necessarily mean that this exact example was theater or FUD, it's just that so much security stuff nowadays is theater or FUD to the point that less Linux-savvy users like myself don't quite know when something is legit or not.

...though admittedly it's my impression, whether accurate or not, that there's much less theater and FUD around security stuff in the Linux world in general?

[andyprough]

but still no v32.4.1

Ditto

Can't you just switch to the repo for Ubuntu 18.04? https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... e=palemoon

Should work fine on Linux Mint, I would think. The 32.4.1 package is available here.

[moonbat]

Thanks, that worked

[seriousness]

Ubuntu 18.04 is EOS since half a year... why isn't it available for 22.04?

[moonbat]

why isn't it available for 22.04?

It was, but the repository hasn't been getting updated for some reason recently.
