@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.

1.27.108 is available, however it seems this has been reverted?

@Th30 Thanks for the link to that issue, but that's not actually the blocker we're seeing that has to do with DNS resolution.

Sorry for the flag, I have now seen in the changes that you reverted it because it broke.

alerque commented on 2021-07-23 18:56 (UTC)

@mixedCase Best of luck. NixOS is awesome by the way. If Arch were to loose me entirely to something at this point that is the most tempting alternative.

@alosarjos Thanks for that info, that's super helpful. Please do keep us posted here.

I'll probably push out a pkgrel bump to fix some packaging issues (e.g. the license file is not ending up in the right place and there are some other coding style cleanups I'd like to see) but I'll hold off pushing 1.27 until I get word or see it working better.

The chromium package in which Brave 1.27 is based has some issues on Linux with rendering and navigation if using systemd-resolved

I'm not sure if pushin 1.27 is a good idea until these are fixed upstream. If I'm not mistaken the Arch Chromium package has added the upstream patches to fix them , but those are not available yet on a Chromium release and thus, are not available on the Brave release and would require a patched Chromium and rebuilidng brave.

@alerque TL;DR: I'm disowning this package and there's an update pending.

I pushed an update to version 1.27.108 after successfully checking brave://version and brave://gpu, and after I pushed I found out I was actually unable to load pages. I reverted the commit without pushing epoch since it was only 5 minutes, ran pacman -Syu just in case, rebooted and my system is now unbootable, failing to load kernel modules for whatever reason in both my lts and zen kernels. No will to debug this right now so I'm just going to nuke my Arch partition and move full time to NixOS.

I've unpinned the pinned comment since it's going to be out of date. Here's the one-liner for checking latest version in case it's useful:

curl https://brave-browser-downloads.s3.brave.com/latest/release.version

Thank you for offering to help!

Thanks so much , keep it up

mixedCase commented on 2021-07-12 18:31 (UTC)

@alerque Added as co-maintainer, thanks!. Keeping it up to date is not a problem for me, but I'd rather not have a package with many users just left to luck of the draw if I'm no longer able to update it without testing it.

alerque commented on 2021-07-12 18:25 (UTC)

@mixedCase Yes I've had a look at the brave PKGBUILD already. It will need a bit of an overhaul before it's ready for [community]. Since I'm a pretty new TU I'm putting off that project until I know the ropes a bit better.

In the mean time feel free to add me as a co-maintainer if you want less pressure to update this one. I see folks are pretty demanding about it being fresh (to the point of obnoxious). But at least with a couple people ready to poke it you won't feel like you have to fire up another distro just for that. Also if you do disown it that will leave me as the maintainer by inheritance and I'll either run with it or help find a good home.
