Creating PKGBUILD for palemoon, browser based on firefox

Hi,
I'm relative new Arch user and I haven't done any packaging until today with Pale Moon. It is a web browser based on Mozilla Firefox and it has been build to linux just a while ago. The author of the project gave me permission to submit it to AUR. I would be happy to do it, but I don't have any previous experience with packaging. Could someone check the PKGBUILD that it is correct and adheres the AUR standards? And, anyone interested with more experience is free to take it over.
The project home page is http://palemoon.org
and the linux binaries are at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pm4linux/,
Here is the PKGBUILD file. I used firefox-esr-bin as an example and copied the dependencies from it.

Well, I changed the path from /opt/palemoon to /usr/lib/palemoon, added icons to usr/share, and symlinked dictionary folders to use system-provided paths.

  • Radius authentication for the browser-based webtop

    Hiya all,
    With help of the radius-authentication module for apache (http://www.freeradius.org/mod_auth_radius/) and web-authentication it is possible to use radius-authentication for the classic-webtop. Has anyone got Radius authentication working for the browser-basedwebtop?
    SSGD version:
    Sun Secure Global Desktop Software for Intel Solaris 10+ (4.30.915)
    Architecture code: i3so0510
    This host: SunOS sgd1.<removed> 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
    I have the radius-module running for authentication of a single directory with the apache-config-lines:
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.(cab|jar|gif|der)$" sgd_noauth_ok
    <LocationMatch "/secure">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from env=sgd_noauth_ok
    AuthName "Radius authentication for SGD"
    Authtype Basic
    AuthRadiusAuthoritative on
    AuthRadiusCookieValid 540
    AuthRadiusActive On
    Require valid-user
    Satisfy any
    </LocationMatch>
    When changing the line <LocationMatch "/secure"> to <LocationMatch "/sgd"> the browser asks for a authentication and then a 'Not Found' page is being displayed.
    When using the config-lines from http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6255/webauth_config_browser.html the login-page is being displayed normally and SSGD works.
    The main difference I can find between the location /secure and /sgd is: /secure is a simple directory and /sgd is a JkMount to Tomcat.
    Changing the JkLogLevel to debug gives the following info in the JkLogFile:

    It seems that the JkMount is not being evaluated correctly after using the radius-authentication.
    Any help will be usefull since I am allready stuck on this problem for a couple of days :(
    Thanks,

    I got response from the Fat Bloke on the mailing list.
    Adding the following line in the apache httpd.conf seams to help and resolved my problem:
    Alias /sgd "/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/5.0.28_axis1.2final_jk1.2.8/webapps/sgd"
    Thanks The Fat Bloke !!

    These instructions are for a 4.2 SGD installation using SGD's third
    party web authentication with mod_auth_radius.so (www.freeradius.org).
    With 4.2 Sun didn't distribute enough of the Apache configured tree
    to enable the use of axps to build the mod_auth_radius module, 4.3 is
    better - Sun now install a modified axps and include files, I haven't
    tried this with 4.3 yet though.
    I built the mod_auth_radius module for Apache 1.3.33 (shipped with 4.2)
    So, this is how we got this working with Radius (tested with SBR
    server and freeradius.org server.)
    Install SGD in the usual way.
    Enable 3rd party authentication:
    According to:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4309-10/en-us/base/standard/
    webauth_config_browser.html
    Configure the Tomcat component of the Secure Global Desktop Web
    Server to
    trust the web server authentication. On each array member, edit the
    /opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/version/conf/server.xml file. Add the
    following attribute to the connector element (<Connector>) for the
    Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector:
    tomcatAuthentication="false"
    # cat /opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/5.0.28_axis1.2final_jk1.2.8/
    conf/server.xml
    <!-- Define a Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
    <Connector port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
    tomcatAuthentication="false"
    enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
    acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="0"
    useURIValidationHack="false"
    protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler"/>
    "By default, for security reasons, Secure Global Desktop
    Administrators can't
    log in to the browser-based webtop with web server authentication.
    The standard
    login page always displays for these users even if they have been

    by the web server. To change this behavior, run the following command:"

  • Creating Caches for faster browsing experiences

    I really like the functionality with spry tabbed panels.  I am creating an online portfolio and in one of my pages, I would like to put up many documents that I have created over the years.  These documents (mainly pdfs) come from the root folder at average sizes of about 100kb per document.  I also tried to accomodate browsers who don't have built in PDF readers in their web browser (eg. firefox) by providing the document via a Scribd embed.
    As a newb, i'm learning things on the fly and on this fly, i've discovered that with all these Scribd embeds loading up simultaneously, the page contains the set of tabbed panels can be quite slow.  Gramps has been awesome in suggesting that I use a user activated pop-up and by using caches. 
    I understand how caches work, but not sure how I can actually code one into my site.
    Is it standard protocol for people to use a cache manifest maker? 
    How do I cache the embed codes given to me from scribd?
    Where do I attach the manifest html code? at the top of every page?
    If the data from the manifest is downloaded by the browser on page1, when the viewer navigates to page2, will the data still be accessible or will it require a second download.

  • What prog language/tools for a browser based online game ?

    I am going to start a project for an multiplayer online game community soon, and need some advice.
    The community will consist of the game itself, forum, wiki and irc-chat and use f/oss software to keep the running costs as low as possible.
    The game is the heart of the community and will be a turn-based wargame with roleplaying and strategy options, mainly text based with some graphics and animations  and played through a browser. (These kind of games are often referred to as Multiplayer Online RolePlaying game MORPG )
    The SQL player database will have up to approx 100k player records, each of which will have many fields.
    The game code will run 24/7 on a linux server (distro not chosen yet) and needs to fulfill these requirements :
    easily maintanable by multiple programmers
    programmers should be able to develop/test parts of the code on their own pc's using linux or windows.
    good, fast access to the player DB
    combat calculations will be mathemically complicated, and need to be fast
    User interaction will be through a web-page
    A way to keep users from accessing the game code directly to avoid computer players. (it's possible this has more to do with the code structure than with the language)
    Most games of this type seem to use a php/ C combination, but that appears to have several drawbacks.
    Specifically code maintainability and distinguishing between humans and bots/computer players are a problem for these games.
    What environment do you think would fulfill these requirements ?
    P.S. if this is to theoretical, check out these links to see some similar games :
    Lords of Legend
    Ogame

    i think java could be a good choice for the programminglanguage. Most computer have the JVM installed already...

  • How to create table for XML schema-based Interface form

    Hi All,
    With tcode SFP to crate  a XML schema-based Interface form, how to create a defined table can be listed in "Data View"?
    Just like APAP Dictonary- Based Interface form, that we can drag  a defined table from data view to the panel.

    Hi,
    Just follow these steps:
    1. Create interactive form UI element in your view.
    2. Now provide Datasource and PDFSOURCE to it in form properties.
    3. Now give a template name prefix with 'Z' or 'Y'.
    4. Double click on it. It will prompt for interface name.
    5. Provide interface name prefixed with 'Z' or 'Y'.
    6. Click on Context button in the Pop up window and provide the node you have selected as DATASOURCE.
    7. Click ok and it will open the form designer.
    8. In this way you can create a XML Schema based Form.
    9. Activate the interface and design the form providing layout type and other details.
    Hope it will help.

    I use PaleMoon now trying to get rid of advertising sharks. I have WINXP still - need assistive-technology computer for pain so taking time on getting new computer.
    I have been severely sabotaged by advertising conglomerates selling my private information. They have no right -yet they do whatever they want. Anyhow...I've tried to OPT-OUT of EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I've tried 5 places found. Google, NAI, DAA, & FIREFOX HELP said go to about:config was instructed to turn "from false to true" the "privacy.tracking.protection.enabled" .But I couldn't keep this setting because this also has to be set to false to use any saved log-on's to my accounts., and add-on AD BLOCK PLUS 2.6.7 when I was on Firefox & had some ticks and now it is disabled because it won't work with PaleMoon 25.2.1
    This case is about GOOGLE OPT-OUT. Starting here: http://www.google.com/settings/ads?hl=en&sig=ACi0TCgWymel0CNWxdcnEWPzWNs9wDd7cVQHxHsmtz4w30CAyHk7MqyzzZdGh3m6FpDaJsKmunTLEvJZY5LAm3h6gIdzE30L-Q
    There are 2 columns. The left one "ADS ON GOOGLE" NEVER RETAINS AFTER LOG-OFF. The right column "Google ads across the web
    " seems to retain sometimes - if I remember right it falls off after a period of time as opposed to after just LOGGING-OFF. Below the columns there are options, but I don't have a GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
    Also down there is this link: https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1631343?hl=en ...you see the box with this: Advertising industry program participation
    Google is a participating member of groups that have developed industry privacy standards like the Ad-Choices icon for online advertising.

    ....I clicked OPTED OUT FOR NAI on their link http://www.networkadvertising.org/
    ...I clicked OPTED OUT FOR DAA on their link http://www.aboutads.info/
    ...I clicked PROTECT MY CHOICES and downloaded the app.
    These 1st 2 links used to have the same trouble and didn't retain ANYTHING and wouldn't re OPT-OUT ANY UNTIL THEY WERE SATIATED - saying I didn't have 3rd party cookies allowed when I did - this took hours.
    I sent numerous trouble reports to them that they ignored - then I think I sent one to Firefox and it is much better but still not completely right. Today DAA retains 106 out of 122 and if I repeatedly RE-OPT-OUT successively I can get it to 121 out of 122 - never completely. (currently the one not taking is Accuen Inc. but it changes periodically - makes me think they set one up to take my info and then share it with all of them - lol )
    Same for NAI currently I started with 94 out of 96 - next re-OPTED-OUT got it to 95 out of 96 and no further and same co. Accuen Inc (accuenmedia.com ) wouldn't update.
    NOTE: I was copy/pasting the list of NON-OPT-OUT'S to them and my own document file to try and find trends/problems...now NAI programmers protected the list from being able to be COPIED AND PASTED!!! That's the opposite of being open and interested in making this work, right? Why would they want to allow us to OPT-OUT of their criminal espionage behavior...RIGHT? (lol) FYI: I recorded that the big one that was always retained before this one was...MEDIA MATH INC.
    MANY Opt-outs would drop off while on-line and ALL would drop-off once logged-off. Now it's retaining most once logged off - but it hasn't been long enough to tell if they'll fall back into their bad habits as they've done before...
    This has been going on forever for me - I've been reporting this malfunction since 2013.
    Of course I downloaded PROTECT MY CHOICES FOR FIREFOX via NAI AND DAA'S links ...http://www.aboutads.info/PMC#protect-your-choices-for-firefox ............they both go to the same place???.....PROTECT MY CHOICES http://www.aboutads.info/plugin/install/firefox....that seems odd...it's as if they are the same entity then. ABOUTADS is DAA'S WEBSITE. NAI'S IS NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG so why would NAI use DAA'S PROTECT MY CHOICES app?
    Lastely, I also requested that the COOKIES NAMES BE UNIFORMLY IDENTIFIABLE. All the OPT-OUT COOKIES that are to be forevermore retained on my computer and that I am to trust the EVERY FUNCTION OF - well they all have different COOKIE NAMES!! Most of the names you can not tell that they are OPT-OUT COOKIES!! - SO NOWWW They have created another problem.
    We can no longer just "DELETE ALL COOKIES".
    PLUS, we can no longer go through our cookies and delete individual ones that snuck through.
    Every one of the OPT-OUT COOKIES SHOULD SAY "OPT-OUT" IWITHIN THEIR NAME OF THEIR COOKIE - PERIOD. RIGHT? (LOL) For real. Why was this mess was allowed?
    REALLY IN MY OPINION THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE BLOCKED AT THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANIES LEVEL - IN OUR SERVERS. We should not have to deal with them. Same thing with viruses, malware and such beasts. But I digress.
    In summary:
    1.)Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings
    2.) JAVA refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox/PaleMoon.
    3.) DAA & NAI still don't retain ALL OPT-OUT settings and never completely OPT-OUT all companies.
    4.) OPT-OUT cookies should be uniformly names with the words OPT-OUT in their titles.
    5.) Ad Block Plus 25.6.7 doesn't work for Pale Moon and there is no alternative - (didn't work great in FireFox)
    Right now I'm mainly interested in #1)retaining my GOOGLE OPT-OUTS while on line AND while logged off since it is attacking my computer and steeling all the speed until it freezes my keyboard.
    Currently I am trying to remember to run through 3. OPT-OUTS every time I log on.
    Thanks so much!

  • Thin browser based client for "workflow creation" UI, any suggestions?

    Hello, we are building an automation software. We are planning to have a browser based front end. User will create a "workflow" like diagram user our User interface.
    What is the best way to do this? If you have used bea weblogic workshop, the process flow diagrams is similar to what we are looking for. Basic idea is to have user generate this entire ddiagram on front end and we pass the resultant flow chart(workflow) as simple xml data to the backend for processing.
    Is it possible using applets/pure-html or something similar?? Any already developed components available???
    Thanks in advance.

    Well I haven't had any luck getting an iPhone to present an SSL certificate to an IIS7 ASP.Net webserver.
    The same .p12 certificate works on IE7, PocketIE (WM6), Firefox and Safari (PC version). The website is set to Require an SSL certificate. From the Windows Mobile or PC browsers, you get a prompt for the client certificate. I have tried Nick's website and the iPhone will prompt to choose between his and my certificates, however with IIS7 you just get a 403.7 client SSL certificate required error.
    I have turned on SSL tracing in HTTP.Sys and get the following (edited for length) :
    <Opcode>SslInititateSslRcvClientCert</Opcode>
    - <Keywords>
    <Keyword>Flagged on all HTTP events handling ssl interactions</Keyword>
    </Keywords>
    <Task>HTTP SSL Trace Task</Task>
    <Message>Server application is attempting to receive the SSL client certificate, which will be provided if available. If the client certificate is not available, a renegotiation will be initiated.</Message>
    <Channel>HTTP Service Channel</Channel>
    <Provider>Microsoft-Windows-HttpService</Provider>
    ... then after various SSL negotiations and receive raw data traces I see...
    <Opcode>SslRcvClientCertFailed</Opcode>
    - <Keywords>
    <Keyword>Flagged on all HTTP events handling ssl interactions</Keyword>
    </Keywords>
    <Task>HTTP SSL Trace Task</Task>
    <Message>Attempt by server application to receive client certificate failed with status: 0xC0000225.</Message>
    <Channel>HTTP Service Channel</Channel>
    <Provider>Microsoft-Windows-HttpService</Provider>
    Which basically seems to mean a "not found" error.
    Anyone had any luck with iPhone to IIS 7 (which we have to use as it is an ASP.Net website)?

  • I need Firefox 3.6. How can I go back? I need it for a web-based software application that I use at work.

    At work (University of Texas at Arlington), I use a vendor-provided web-based application that requires Firefox 3.6. I've uninstalled Firefox and tried to install 3.6, but I got Firefox 6.0. When I start Firefox now, it sometimes automatically updates so that at this point I'm using 7.0. I've lost some functionality in the application, and the vendor's tech support is not able to help with some things such as printing pages, user preferences, etc.

    You can get firefox 3.6.23 here
    * http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * see also [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
    You may consider seeing if there is a firefox 3.6.23 portable version available if you are using it for one particular application only, you could then use firefox 7 for other browsing.

  • Browser compatibility for Adobe AIR (browser-based version)

    Hi there,
    I'm using RoboHelp 10 to create the browser-based version of Adobe AIR. My understanding is that this version of AIR uses Flash for some of the navigation, such as the table of contents.
    Can anyone else share their findings on which browsers and Flash plug-ins will reliably display the browser-based version of AIR? I've found that it displays fine on IE 8, but not IE 9, and not Google Chrome (version 23).
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Robert

    Hi Peter,
    I've spent more time looking at my project and I am not getting the results I need.
    To summarize, I've created a browser-based version of Adobe AIR that is a local copy. It runs fine on IE 8, but not Google Chrome (version 23) or IE 9. I've also tried created a very small second RoboHelp project and I get the same results--the index.htm page is blank in Chrome and IE 9.
    In Chrome, I've double-checked that it is running Flash version 11.5.31.5. I've noticed that Chrome changes my file path (see attached screen capture).
    I'm at a loss to figure out why this is not displaying, as expected.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Looking for browser-based, end user  ad-hoc reports

    Hi all. We have need for an easy to use, browser based end-user reporting tool that can be hosted by CF10. We are spending a fantastic amount of time building custom tabular reports for our client and would prefer to give them a tool in our app that let's them build reports whenever they want. Do any of you know of any good reporting tools where the end-user could build their own reports?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Andy,
    You could try JReport.  Its a reporting and data visualization tool that let's anyone of any skill level create and modify their own reports and dashboards.  You can even embed them into other applications.  Let me know if you want to chat about it.

  • Firefox does not display my customised Adobe Air browser based skin when viewed from a server

    Hi,
    I have edited the skin for my Adobe Air Browser based help. It appears fine in Explorer and Chrome, but Firefox displays the default black Air skin when viewed from a server.
    However, it appears OK when viewed locally on my machine in Firefox?
    Does anyone know why this is or if there is a way to make my customised skin display when viewed from a server using the Firefox browser?
    Cheers

    Peter,
    I think this was it:

    although my problem is just with Firefox - my amended skin displays fine in Internet Explorer.
    Firefox just applies the default Midnight Black skin.
