Pale Moon for Slackware

khronosschoty · 03-18-2022, 12:58 PM

I figured it was time to create a new thread dedicated for Pale Moon for Slackware, in honor of Pale Moon 30.0.0. As I might have mentioned elsewhere, I've been in the process of moving to a new server; so you might notice the url's I use are different.

Here is a link to the Pale Moon 30.0.0 SlackBuild; which has also been submitted as an update at SlackBuilds.org.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

"As we speak," so to speak

, I'm using the Pale Moon xz-compressed tarball and so far, so good.

I'm sorry to see Basilisk fade into the sunset, but it looks like PaleMoon-30.0.0 is more than a suitable replacement.

This is a new milestone release!
Following the change in direction as announced before on the forum and directly driven by user feedback and community input.......

I'm still in the process of potentially keeping Basilisk around; I was just waiting for the Platform code to settle down before I begin transitioning Basilisk over. I did, however, get official permission to maintain Basilisk.

Good to hear!
Many thanks and please keep us posted.

Now it's ok
Thanks

JayByrd · 03-18-2022, 02:18 PM

Thanks for all your work, khronosschoty.

Just a quick heads-up for those who have yet to switch to Slackware 15.0: this new Palemoon requires a GCC of 7.1 or newer. Build fails on 14.2 with GCC 5.5.0.

I have a gcc 9 build (I think) I could potentially support for 14.2 if anyone is interested.

I use Vivaldi but want a browser with a different engine around as an alternative.

Last time I checked uBlock Origin and NoScript didn't seem to be available for Pale Moon. What do you people use?

Can find Ublock here
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-fo...gacy-1.16.4.30

and I use ematrix instead of noscript

Thank you khronosschoty !

I just now ran `git clone` on your SBo Mirror.

Your palemoon.SlackBuild script has been running a few minutes now seems to be progressing nicely on Slackware64 15.0 + Multilib.

THANKS AGAIN !

Since you are a maintainer, I take the opportunity to pass on a little message (for all mainteners in fact)

From what I saw on the SBo (during our help to check slackbuilds for 15.0), only Vincent Batts does this when he has several sources to download:

put all the DOWNLOAD links on one line
instead of:

Code:

DOWNLOAD="link1 \
          link2 \
          link3"

Code:

DOWNLOAD="link1 link2 link3"

This way, you can fetch all files at once

Code:

$ wget $(awk -F'"' '/DOWNLOAD=/,$0=$2' *.info)

It is said. Sorry for the noise ;-)

Thanks very much. While we're on the subject of add-ons, I don't suppose there's one for vertical tabs?

kjhambrick · 03-18-2022, 03:14 PM

Hmmm ...

All of the SBoPackage.info files are valid /bin/sh script files.

And

Code:

DOWNLOAD="1 \
          2 \
          3"

is perfectly valid.

so this works great for me:

Code:

( . palemoon.info ; wget $DOWNLOAD ; )
