Both AUR pacckages librewolf and librewolf-bin are flagged out-of-date since almost three weeks.
The last update was on 2024-03-23.
Librewolf flatpak is also outdated.
Does anyone know what is happening?

See today’s date.
AUR packages are maintained by volunteers, there could be hundreds of reasons why they didn’t update package. Best time to take a look at how the script works and try to update it yourself and step up as a maintainer.

I use the flatpak edition in reality. Isn’t that supposed to be an official release from the Librewolf developers?
Yeah one reason would be it’s not even half a day since new version was out, and maintainer might be asleep

wait I’m confused, looks like the AUR package is up to date, also today is 24-04-2023 isn’t it?
Got time machine?
No it’s outdated for few hours, latest version is https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source/releases/tag/125.0.1-1
The appimage is also stuck at 124.0.1
Yeah looks like there are new versions on codeberg but the site isn’t updated either. Maybe it is all done by single person.
and you the edit machine?

Yeah, i’ve made a f*cky-wucky with month
P.S. AppImage is indeed outdated, there must be some oopsie-doopsie in their deploy infrastructure.

If you want to build it yourself, this PKGBUILD works.
I have changed version and the first sha256sum
It takes some 20GB free disk space and loves RAM.
It took 1 hour to build here.
Build with
makepkg --syncdeps --rmdeps
After building you can install it with
yay -U librewolf-125.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
It will remove the librewolf-bin
so remember to install the bin file again
when it’s updated to the next version.
