@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

@vorbote, I reported trying to be usefull; no need to make it personal. My "limited command of the English language" as you wrote doesn't impede me to confirm the PKGBUILD I have to correct the path to 'app.png' or it fails is this package's that can be found here: <https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/PKGBUILD?h=brave-browser-bin> (tried to make it clear by quoting it on 2016-03-11 20:30 btw). I'm glad it builds elsewehre without changing the path; no big deal. I'm interested understanding where this PKGBUILD issue comes from, != "loosing time" IMHO.

@soimort Yes, that is correct. Apparently they are building binaries in Ubuntu with outdated nodejs, npm and, worse, g++/libstdc++ versions. As Arch uses, in general, the latest upstream releases there are unavoidable compatibility problems. Building from source does not help either due to the same ABI differences between the upstream electron and Arch's g++. One of he joys of C++ libraries.

It's certainly an upstream issue though, the binary release throws a lot of segfaults on my Arch machine (freetype2 2.6.3-1).

@kozaki, I can understand that your command of the English language be limited, as it is apparently the case; I'm not a native speaker myself. Please stop wasting my time and yours. You have spent three weeks reporting a bug that doesn't exit in this package. As I wrote on 2016-03-11 20:07 UTC, if you are trying to report a bug with the git version, please do so in the appropirate place. The fact that I maintain both packages is irrelevant. Thank you.

kozaki commented on 2016-03-11 20:30 (UTC)

Edited my last post with correct paths. Yes I think so: PKGBUILD: # Maintainer: Please see AUR package page for current maintainer(s) and contact information. pkgname=brave-browser-bin pkgver=0.8.0 pkgrel=1 ... install -D -m0644 "$startdir"/app.png "$pkgdir"/usr/share/pixmaps/brave-browser-bin.png Path to app.png : (/makepkg/brave-browser-bin)─ (6 files, 44Kb)─> [1][0]$ find . -name app.png ./src/app.png

@kozaki Are you sure you are reporting the bug to the correct package? The PKGBUILD for this particular package is correct and works as intended. If you have problems with the *git* package report your problems there, but for your information, it works *fine*. It may be unbuildable at the moment but that is out of our hands as far as we know. I always build the three brave packages presently in AUR, using clean chroots created with devtools both in EXT4 and BTRFS. I encourage you to do the same before reporting back.

Excuse the delay to answer. It isn't double quotes or else but app.png standing in: $startdir"/src/app.png not in: $startdir"/app.png in your PKGBUILD. fs = ext4.

toropisco commented on 2016-03-03 15:17 (UTC)

I don't either.

mischka commented on 2016-03-03 15:04 (UTC)

Brave works fine for me, I'm not sure what you guys are talking about http://i.imgur.com/1tgzrco.png

toropisco commented on 2016-03-03 11:28 (UTC)

@kozaki And the full path? Not that it should matter, $srcdir is double-quoted for a reason.
