Package request for LibreWolf to be added to the repo. https://librewolf.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... stallation
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

They (the developers) seem to have a Debian Sid package being worked per their GitLab.

I am attempting to build it right now, but its complaining about some dependencies that I need to handle first, but these are Debian Sid packages.

No promises, but they seem interested in having a Debian package, we if we need to reach out to them we can do that.

They have an appimage in the mean time.

If you want it to integrate nicely into MX19, you can dowload the flatpak from here: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/ ... 64.flatpak

And install it from the command line (not as root user or sudo):

Code: Select all

flatpak install ./LibreWolf-84.0.2-1.x86_64.flatpak
Works well for me, and shows up in the MX main menu.

Is that an official flatpak from them? From what I saw they didn't have an official one yet, but that could be out of date info.

If there is a flatpak they may be the best bet for folks, it may or may not take awhile to get it built for MX, I'm on dependency #4 of 6 that I know of so far.
Also no knowing if it will build and have issues or not since I haven't gotten that far yet. I got other packages to do to so I'm just starting with this thing and not sure I want to maintain it long term. Still too many browsers coming and going these days, I think we have 42 in our repos or something like that? :p

Yes, it's in their Linux Releases page on their LibreWolf Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/ ... -/releases

Unfortunately they haven't submitted it to Flathub yet, or users would be able to get it through MXPI. But the command line installation of it as a local file works just as well.

Cool thanks, it will come in handy if people want to check it out.

Its build-depends should be similar to that of Firefox 84 upstream, which involves newer versions of cargo and rustc, AFAIK.

Since they offer binary builds, we could duplicate what we do with Firefox and just bundle those into debs.
