Raw Blame History

This Repository contains all the required material to build the browser on Linux platforms.

Status

Unfortunately, at the moment we are only barely keeping up with maintenance releases following upstream Firefox releases. AppImage and Flatpak-releases are still to be considered experimental. Debian builds are already being built by a third party contributer (see !12), and will hopefully soon be integrated as well. We are fully aware of the issues and wishes/improvements piling up rest assured, we will get to them as soon as possible!

Important

The following instructions are currently outdated. The build scripts are currently meant to be run in a CI environment with Docker containers and gitlab-runners. Updated instructions for local builds or setting up your own appropriate runners will be provided again in the future.

Requirements

  • Ubuntu or Linux Mint (Bionic or later)

Notes

  • As this script installs files during the build, it is recommended to run this script in a VM or installation dedicated to building.
  • You will occassionally need to enter your sudo password. Running this script as root has not been tested
  • This script has been tested with Linux Mint 19.1
  • The flatpak build is not ready yet.

Instructions

  • Run build.sh inside this folder. (NOTE: This is currently only semi-functional. A rework of this script is in the making.)
  • Packages will be saved in the repository root folder.
