Ralf has a good idea, I would change it a bit and do it like this:
#!/bin/bash # 1) set pacman to ignore firefox upgrades # 2) perform normal pacman upgrade sudo pacman -Syu # 3) continue this script
# pacman should still recognize that firefox is out of date even if the update is disabled if [ pacman -Qu firefox ]; then # download PKGBUILD from abs # patch PKGBUILD # build # install fi
There are several ways to write a wrapper, but indeed the first thing before building firefox is to upgrade. Anyway, all solutions to automatically build firefox are IMO not worth the effort, since "apulse-git" does the job. If it shouldn't work for the OP, it might be easy to fix. Assuming troubleshooting should be required, I would start with running $ aplay -l | grep "card 0" and $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/*alsa* Regards, Ralf
