I'm just wondering if it'd be possible to have an ebuild that would easily compile and install the latest firefox nightly. Is this unreasonable? One possible concern is that there may not be a predetermined md5sum to guarantee the authenticity of the file. The source is at: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ Thank you.
these are nightly binaries. if you want an ebuild that installs them, just copy /usr/portage/www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.3.ebuild into your overlay, change the SRC_URI from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/${PV}/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-${PV}.tar.gz to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-1.0+.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz and name it mozilla-firefox-bin-9999.ebuild.
There's enough maintenance burden as it is, use binaries if you want/need this.
