Veit Kannegieser's repo

Unread post by ron_1 » 2024-09-09, 20:41

Is Veit Kannegieser's repo an official 3rd-party build? There's no mention of it on the contributed builds page.

I'll be happy to add it if the community at large thinks it should be marked as such.

I haven't heard of that yet.

Here's the thread where Veit announces the repo: viewtopic.php?p=254376#p254376

And here's the repo and instructions for use: https://kannegieser.net/palemoon/

Very nice and clean and simple, no complexities like with Steve Pusser's MX repo.

Just switched to this from the tarball version, works and integrates great :thumbup:
I'm going to still keep the tarball version as a backup going forward.

Veit already has today's new Pale Moon version 33.3.1 up in the repo. Steve Pusser's repositories were running days or sometimes weeks behind in getting the new Pale Moon packages uploaded. This is good stuff.

I noticed that this build doesn't remove the auto updater - so I got a prompt saying Pale Moon couldn't update itself due to missing permissions. After updating to 33.4.0, I can still see the 'check for updates' in the help menu and the relevant settings in advanced preferences. Please remove it while building since it isn't needed for repo installs.

Yep, I noticed the same thing this morning when I switched repos.

The package is installed below /usr/lib/, the update script detects that it would not be able to write there.

For me the dialog is a reminder that i have to update.
You can disable the update checks in the settings/update tab.

This just repackaged, not build from source, i can not change that function.
Please try settings option.

That's good, less things that can go wrong between the official tarball and this repackaging of it into a deb. That's another advantage over any other Pale Moon deb package.

There were no problems with stevepusser's build AFAIK, that removed the superfluous auto-updater.

At least you have the new version. I'm on Steve's MX repo and might not have 33.4.0 for a few more days.
