ATTENTION PACKAGE BUILDERS
Posted: 2020-08-22, 14:31
We would like to remind you to always check the Pale Moon Build Instructions to ensure that your build configuration is up to date with changes in the application and platform. Every effort will be made to keep this up to date as changes happen. This includes mozconfig options, dependencies, and various notes relating to the build process.
Additionally, if you are creating binary repacks as packages that can be installed by a system package manager you should be aware that the mainline linux builds do have the internal software updater enabled. This configuration conflicts with packages managed by a package manager. As such, it is advisable to inject a file into the browser/defaults/preferences directory named zz-disableUpdates.js with the following contents:
Please do not take this as permission to change, remove, or alter any other preferences as that is forbidden without express permission according to the Pale Moon Redistribution License. We are allowing this one and ONLY one exception in order to properly facilitate such repacks.
Thank you for your attention!
