Hi all,
I put firefox-trunk SRPM based on current fedora rawhide one at http://homepage2.nifty.com/t-matsuu/install-memo/fc/
Notice: this package breaks the dependency against devhelp and yelp.

Does anyone know of any rpm builds of Firefox 3? I'm aware it's nowhere near ready for prime time, but I have a compelling reason to start using ff3 fairly soon and would rather install from rpm, of course.
BTW: My compelling reason is that FF3 will contain a11y support that should prove superior to any yet seen on any platform. Fingers crossed, etc ...

How stable is this version anyway? Are or you using it?

This has been very helpful, and I have been bui9lding and publishing binaries based on these src.rpm files @SpeakupModified.Org.
However, there's now a problem where the src.rpms are not retrievable via the URI provided. The pointers suggest a late January src.rpm, and another on February 10, both of which have been yielding 404 errors.

Thanks for the fix.
If anyone's interested in the binaries, they're at http://SpeakupModified.Org. ff3 is of paramount importance to a11y being the reason we are concerned to track closely on this.

Now that we're at the beginning of F-9 development, I'd like to resurrect this question regarding Firefox 3. Can we expect FF3 in F-9? It is slated for release during the development cycle, as I understand it.
Meanwhile, I can attest the a11y support in FF3, which I have been building from Takanori San's SRPMS. Hopefully, the yelp and devhelp conflicts will now also prove historical.

Yes, I think it makes sense. We should toss up a Feature page for it probably. Or perhaps combine it with a XULRunner feature, because it will make getting Fx3 in significantly easier if other packages are converted to xulrunner to avoid breaking them.

I wanted xulrunner so bad leading up to f8.. i was tempted to build a time machine, go to the future, package xulrunner and ff3 and learn who was going to win the world series, then bring the packages back with me to the present and make a hefty vegas bet.

Stay tuned for an update in the next two weeks. We got this working last week, but there's a few things we want to clean up before it's put into rawhide. Putting it into rawhide will also mean breaking several things such as epiphany, yelp, devhelp, and every other application that uses gecko right now. So there is a high cost that we want to be in a position to communicate well as to the proper way to solve rather than simply leave broken for people to figure it out.
Hi all,
Now I put my firefox-trunk (3.0b2pre now) package at http://t-matsuu.sakura.ne.jp/install-memo/fc/ The package is based on firefox-2.0.0.8-2. It includes some adhoc artifice to success to build.
libgtkembedmoz.so and libxpcom.so is not built by default. now. This change may affects yelp and devhelp (and AdobeReader-8.*) packages.
Feel free to incorporate to firefox package in Fedora.
regards,
Takanori

I have been building from your srpms with excellent results--until very recently. Beginning AFTER firefox-3.0a9pre-2007102116_trunk.fc7, I am unable to rpmbuild either F-7 or F-8, including your srpm of the new FF3 Beta. I get:
error: line 1212: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': - Initial RPM release.
error: Failed to find Provides: File listed twice: /usr/lib64/firefox-3.0b2pre/updater.ini line 1212: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': - Initial RPM release.
Failed to find Provides: line 1212: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': - Initial RPM release.
Failed to find Provides:Release: 2%{?dist}spk
Since 1212 is actually the eof of the .spec, I suspect some other subtle problem that I have not been able to identify.
PS: Thank you again for making these srpms available over the past months. They have been very helpful.

OK, I added %{mozappdir}/crashreporter to the %files list, and it built successfully. Someone should probably take a look at what to do about the fact that the process for finding provides is presenting an arglist to sed that needs to be split up somehow.
HTH.

Good News that last week mozilla developers resolved all beta1 blocker bugs. According to their weekly meeting status, beta1 is code complete now. So I am waiting for Firefox 3's Beta1(M9) release. once its released we can think on its inclusion in rawhide.

May I venture that a11y is looking for an upversioning in Gecko across the board? As things stand, the current help system is inaccessible. The Mozilla and Gnome Summits last month both decided to try and move distributions toward Gecko 1.9 (at least) in order to make help more usable through alternative interfaces. So, hopefully, the "right thing to do" will include newer Gecko.
