Urgently looking for palemoon 29.1.1 linux .deb (Steve Pusser builds)

Unread post by paleuser2 » 2021-05-09, 02:31

Hi,

i knew already that there would be a discontinue of the support for old firefox-extensions.
But i don't expected this to happen rightnow.

So my situation is like this: actually i'm running debian 10, want to switch to the upcomming debian 11 shortly.

Because i don't knew the old firefox-extensions would be blocked with the 29.2 release, the last version i got here is the 29.1 palemoon for debian 10.
I always used the debian-builds from Steve Pusser, wich always worked flawless here (Many, many thanks to Mr. Steve Pusser for his work, by the way).

I checked for replacements of my extensions on 'addons.palemoon.org/extensions' but couldn't find sufficient replacements for my installed extensions.
That's why i'm looking now for .deb-packages for palemoon 29.1.1 for debian 10 and for debian testing (the upcomming debian 11) from Steve Pusser to bridge the time until i can find replacements for my extensions.

As long as i can see Mr. Steve Pusser don't maintain a archive with old versions of his palemoon-builds.
Is there anybody who can tell me where i can get these? Or is there a way to contact Mr. Pusser directly?


I would be very thankful if somebody could help.


Greetings



P.S.
I don't know i it's off-topic here (then disregard this), but maybe somebody who reads this know about replacements for my essential (can't live without them) extensions:

Advanced Night Mode: mainly switch website-colors from black-on-white to white-on-black.

Foxreplace: change website-text-snippets regarding your own rules.

Link Ninja: open bulk-links in new tabs.

Remove-It-Permanently: remove website-elements regarding your own, saved rules.

You can find links to older builds on this forum. You will have to install manually. Those old extensions will not longer be supported, so keep using an older build. You can hope some of them will be ported, but you might end up porting them yourself. Some extensions are easy to port (you can ask me how, but my method will only work for some, and for a few months until PM changes rules again).

Remove-It-Permanently
Advanced Night Mode was moved by its developer and is now installed and updated from GitHub. It remains Pale Moon-compatible.

Remove-It-Permanently appears to have just been forked for Pale Moon and is also available on GitHub.


Concerning older Steve Pusser builds, this running thread may be useful: Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10, 17.04, 18.04 Debian 8, 9 Pale Moon repositories.

The archive only contains official tarballs of official mainline binaries - it doesn't archive third party builds, re-packs or distro-specific package formats.

After you login into the Open Build service, you can branch a package at a specific version.
To branch Pale Moon at version 29.1.1, for example, you could use this link: https://build.opensuse.org/packages/palemoon/branches/home:stevenpusser?revision=706.
Make sure under More Options you check Stay on this Revision. Also once its branched, make sure to disable Build Publishing so you are not distributing unauthorized builds. This will rebuild Pale Moon 29.1.1 for all OS's supported by Steve Pusser.

That's why i asked for Steve Pusser's .deb builds. Because i don't have to build anything myself but they install flawless on debian.

Those old extensions will not longer be supported, so keep using an older build. You can hope some of them will be ported, but you might end up porting them yourself.
I have no clue about porting extensions.

Some extensions are easy to port (you can ask me how, but my method will only work for some, and for a few months until PM changes rules again).
Would be fine if you could could give me a hint how to port my extensions for 29.2 and above versions.

Can' t find that option nor where i can download the 29.1.1 versions then.
There's a 'download package' link, but if i follow that link, the download site shows: 'No data for home:palemoonuser:branches:home:stevenpusser / palemoon'

Depending on your package management methods and history you might find older versions in your local package cache:
/var/cache/apt/archives
And once you have found a deb at the right version, you can copy the file to other systems of the same arch, ie 32 / 64 bit, and install it:
# dpkg -i path/to/deb
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been...

Log in (if you logged out) and go to your branch of Pale Moon.
Click on the package called palemoon.
Once there click on the Repositories tab. EDIT: while your there, disable 'Publish Flag' for all. I could post a picture of what I'm talking about if it helps you.
Under the Build Flag column, click on your distribution you want .deb packages files for.
Download the .deb file for your arch.
Note: you have to be logged in to download the package.

That's what I do.

The 'Publish Flag' was already set to disabled by default for all builds.
Nevertheless i switched (to be sure) the top left (Row: All, Column: All) manually again to disabled.
Then a small dot appeared at the disabled-sign.

I could post a picture of what I'm talking about if it helps you.
Under the Build Flag column, click on your distribution you want .deb packages files for.
Download the .deb file for your arch.
No picture needed, good explanation.
Thanks for your help.

I forgot that branching a package disables build publishing, so that part was unnecessary.
Best of luck and I hope Pale Moon extension replacements become available for you soon.
