The script @ https://gist.github.com/ruario/9672798 stopped working on my amd64 current system. It downloads the latest stable Firefox but does nothing afterwards, It was working a couple weeks ago when 92 was released.
For terminal commands ....use root powers to sym link to /usr/bin
Code:
ln -s /home/pixxt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin
For some menu generators.....add the Desktop file to /usr/share/applications with root powers
Depending on what menus....Slackers use....you may need to change Application to something like Internet, Network or whatever
If for menu generator....you need an icon, copy the icon pathway using root powers to /usr/share/pixmaps
BTW I run this system for years.....bonus....on point releases I only have a download of the diff...I believe called the delta file?
On IceWM I have a kb combo to launch it....and another one to kill it in my IceWM keys file YMMV
key "Super+d" pkill firefox
key "Super+f" firefox

Probably the culprit (line 307,308):
Code:
# Make sure the file permissions are ok
chmod -R u+w,go+r-w,a-s .
Code:
blackstar :: /tmp/repackage-mozilla-firefox/pkg » makepkg /tmp/mozilla-firefox-92.0.1-x86_64-1ro.tgz
Slackware package maker, version 3.14159265.
Searching for symbolic links:
No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.
This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!
Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? y

No problem here with new script. Just downloaded FF92.01 no issues.
Hmm… yes it is the chmod command. It should work but ok, whatever. I replaced it with the equivalent snippet from the SlackBuilds template. It is a little longer but does the job and does not fail

Thank you so much! A lot of us appreciate your scripts.

The same sort of thing happened with the Google-Chrome script. It downloads and stops short of making a Slackware package. I use your scripts all the time and appreciate what you have done for us.

Finally, after a long time waiting for it, the google-chrome script returned a slackware package. I actually almost gave up waiting. Firefox is up to date. Opera, skype and vivaldi I don't use but I tried the scripts and they only expand and store the .deb and stop there. I actually sat around the campfire for a couple of hours and then checked but it wasn't just slow, it was frozen
I replaced the scripts and tried again. Thunderbird didn't work but Google-Chrome and Vivaldi actually produced slackware packages. Gotta hit the sack now but tomorrow I am gonna try again
