Man, I'm late to the game here, but what happened was that my Intel mac had a bit of a breakdown, and then when I got it back up I mucked up the build system and it stopped building for a bit. Everything should be back in order now.

Site note, man you really dug up a zombie thread! Oh my young idealism, builder community and whatnot.

If you want to get to me somewhat faster (I'm still often several days behind) you'll want to post in my main thread:

Just a quick bit of feedback on your builds site

the official releases are a bit hard to pick out
(when i looked on the 20th i didn't notice it on first glance... )

if you could do a separate feed with just the official (non-nightly) releases that would be cool

or maybe just add a bit of extra text to the name so it stands out from the nightlies

anyways
thanks again again
chris

ps: 3.0 has been running great for me so far!

Is this intel optimised compile using the final release 3.X build?
http://firefoxmac.furbism.com/builds/in ... el-3.0.dmg
I'm guessing it is....

By the way, awesome resource: http://firefoxmac.furbism.com
You guys are legends! Is there some way to donate?

Any idea how to remove all instances of "Minefield" in the app's GUI?
It is after all the RTM build!

Cheers,
-jed.

I can't seem to find any 3.0.6 Intel optimized builds? Are there any out there?

fluid, from my experience (you can see how long i've been on this from this thread's history) elfurbe does not do the minor updates right away, if at all.

if you're looking for up-to-date builds try the nightlies (i've been using the nightlies from mozilla recently and they've been pretty good)

I was wondering if the Firefox Intel optimised builds have started using #include <dispatch/dispatch.h> to invoke Grand Central Dispatch?

No, not yet.

I'm busy sorting out code to compile with llvm-gcc and per-file HFS+ compression for binaries. This will be strictly Snow Leopard only.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514923
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514083

Unfortunatly my dev machine has gone to Apple for repair, again.

HFS compressed version.

It's in a pkg format to retain compression. This build will only work with Snow Leopard.

I have a few bugs with the package installer. A change of owner may be required after install of Minefield.app. Needs to be included as a post install script.

sudo chown $User /Applications/Minefield.app
