| sparkiegeek | is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa the right place to get Firefox Nightly builds ? | 13:22 |
|---|---|---|
| sparkiegeek | it's not clear to me why that latest update was 3 weeks ago | 13:22 |
| sparkiegeek | e.g. mozilla.org download links have 54.0a1 | 13:23 |
| dexterp | sparkiegeek, as far as I know that's the correct link | 13:48 |
| ricotz | sparkiegeek, it is the correct place, but only updated as needed | 14:22 |
| sparkiegeek | ricotz: what does "as needed" mean? | 14:22 |
| ricotz | to catch up with upstream change which require packaging updates | 14:23 |
| sparkiegeek | ricotz: what determines the schedule of updates? | 14:23 |
| sparkiegeek | ah, so package version doesn't rev when the day changes? | 14:23 |
| ricotz | the beta ppa is updated more frequently as the upstream beta releases are tagged | 14:23 |
| sparkiegeek | I'm trying to find a PPA that lets me easily consume Firefox Nightly | 14:24 |
| ricotz | the version *do* reference the day of change | 14:24 |
| sparkiegeek | e.g. will normally change 1/day | 14:24 |
| ricotz | if you really require that pace of updates you likely want to follow upstream directly by using their builds | 14:26 |
| * sparkiegeek nods | 14:26 | |
| sparkiegeek | but I guess they're not shipping .deb s? (nor .snap s) | 14:26 |
| ricotz | I don't think so, there are tars which include an auto-upate mechanism, so you can install it to e.g. ~/bin/firefox/* | 14:29 |
| chrisccoulson | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa isn't going to be building anything again until we've bootstrapped rustc everywhere (currently being worked on) | 14:41 |
| sparkiegeek | chrisccoulson: ack, thanks | 14:43 |
