Attention package builders! 29.4.1 and later
Posted: 2021-09-14, 17:04
Important announcement for package builders:
Starting 29.4.1, we are providing source snapshots to build from if you are building from source.
This change has been necessary due to blatant disregard of the MPL by some forks and subsequent personal and vicious attacks against our devs and the project and browsers as a whole.
The previous git-based setup will no longer be available to pull from, and has been moved to a graveyard where it's been archived for historical and issue reference. They will no longer be updated as we develop the platform and applications further.
Most likely, using source snapshots will simplify building for package managers but of course some changes will be necessary to scripting to pull down source archives instead of pulling repo changes.
Sorry for the short notice, and if you have any difficulty as a result please don't be afraid to ask.
Build documentation on the developer site will be updated shortly.
