Amelia

Build Midori browsers with ease

This is still in a prerelease / prototype phase.

Installation

npm install @goastian/amelia

Documentation

Documentation is available on docs.gluon.dev or in the docs folder of this repository.

CI-safe packaging and addons

Special handling for packaging and addons is now integrated in source:

• Packaging now performs a Tor preflight check before mach package.
• Tor preflight is skipped for unsupported targets: linux-aarch64 and win32-aarch64.
• mach package and mach package-multi-locale now abort explicitly if they fail.
• Addon initialization skips git commit when AMELIA_SKIP_ADDON_GIT_INIT=1 or when CI=true.
• Addon mozbuild updates now use browser/extensions/moz.build when present, fall back to browser/extensions/app.mozbuild, and create a base file if needed.
• Branding patch fallback now uses browser/branding/official when browser/branding/unofficial does not exist.

Usage

Normal local run:

npm run self

CI-safe run (skip addon git commit):

npm run self:ci-safe

Target-aware Tor preflight (set these in CI for accurate behavior):

AMELIA_PLATFORM=linux
AMELIA_COMPAT=aarch64
