Re: Firefox in the Artix repositories

Reply #15
I installed Aritx by VirtualBox on April 28. On this date, I installed firefox browser with Pacman. Yesterday I installed the Artix on my machine definitively, but I can't find the firefox.

I enabled the Arch repository (pacman -Syu artix-archlinux-support).

And I'm trying to find any browser ( I saw the list on the ArchWiki) but I couldn't find any. (icecat, firefox, seamonkey, cliqz, librewolf, etc). What am I doing wrong?

Code: [Select]
$ sudo pacman -Ssv firefox

$ sudo pacman -Ss firefox-esr

I installed any other applications with these commands (like emcas).

Which browser is available for Artix to do you recommend? Because I didn't find any

Hello! I tryed this. Since artix made the thing with arch-repos, I susseccfully used firefox-esr & icecat on void-linux musl. But after an update, I lost my 2nd browser icecat. It's not anymore in void repos  :(  
Now I tryed to install it on artix. Without sussecc.
I've wrote the system, world, galaxy, extra, community,  universe and omniverse to /etc/pacman.conf
And could install librewolf. But the 2nd browser I want to use is gnuzilla icecat. I know it's in the AUR. But I still can't install it.  Allways I try it, I get follow message

If not yet done you need to install the package artix-archlinux-support.

To install Icecat from the AUR, either you do that manually using makepkg - see Arch wiki for details - or install an AUR helper with makepkg, then use (helpername) -S icecat-bin just like you would use pacman.

Something like (replace aur-pkg-name of course):
Code: [Select]
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aur-pkg-name.git
$ cd aur-pkg-name
$ makepkg -si

But Icecat is very outdated, last release was 2019, it looks like an abandoned project. It has been removed from the Arch repos and is now only an AUR package. It would not be recommended for online use as it has not been getting security updates. If you install icecat (not icecat-bin) then you will get exactly the same version, but built from source code which is going to take a long while to download and compile.

No need to bump this thread, Drito. Last post was almost a year old. Firefox has been added to the official repos since then.
