Installation instructions for
There's an unofficial port of LibreWolf for OpenBSD. You can use the following instructions to get binary packages for the latest -stable OpenBSD/amd64 release. Packages are not available for -current or past -stable OpenBSD releases.
1. Download the signing key:
$ curl -O https://pkg.weird.cafe/pub/OpenBSD/weird-pkg.pub
$ doas mv weird-pkg.pub /etc/signify/
You can also verify content of the key, it should contain these lines only:
untrusted comment: signify public key
RWTsyRgJSV/4yBkunNQ7XVQ3p8i8PDHZgjGR35MBzCdza4wMONywiJyP
2. Install LibreWolf:
Temporary set PKG_PATH
The easiest way to install the package is to temporary change the PKG_PATH
variable to point to the build server:
$ PKG_PATH="https://pkg.weird.cafe/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/" pkg_add librewolf
To update the package:
$ PKG_PATH="https://pkg.weird.cafe/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/" pkg_add -u librewolf
The downside of this approach is pkg_add -u won't update LibreWolf
automatically, and the command will warn about not being able to find the
package.
Persistently set PKG_PATH
Alternatively, you can set the PKG_PATH variable persistently. If you already
use it, then just append this URL to the path (using the : separator):
https://pkg.weird.cafe/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/
If you use installurl(5) (the defaults), export PKG_PATH from your
.xsession or .kshrc file:
export PKG_PATH="$(cat /etc/installurl)/$(uname -r)/packages-stable/$(uname -p)/:$(cat /etc/installurl)/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/:https://pkg.weird.cafe/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/"
Here's an example:
$ cat ~/.xsession
export PKG_PATH="$(cat /etc/installurl)/$(uname -r)/packages-stable/$(uname -p)/:$(cat /etc/installurl)/$(uname -r)/packages/
$(uname -p)/:https://pkg.weird.cafe/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/"
export MOZ_ACCELERATED=1
export MOZ_WEBRENDER=1
cwm
This way pkg_add librewolf and pkg_add -u will work as expected and will
install and update LibreWolf package automatically.
3. Read LibreWolf's pkg-readme:
$ less /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/librewolf
You'll at least want to enable hardware acceleration and WebRender.
