Looks like it got flagged out of date? The current release is v1.70.123 released yesterday. Is the author dropping the packaging support or is it just a friendly reminder by the community?

wknapik I believe this is related to the complication you were referring to: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Build-configuration

I wonder how broken a completely keyless build would be. Looking at those parameter names, there are a number that seem to be less than critical.

It's because Brave is not willing to give permission to Arch to distribute a version that they compile.

Let's clarify this a bit. Brave has no issue with binary redistribution/repackaging. However, packages in default Arch repos need to be built from source by Arch maintainers and that's where the complication lies.

To build a fully functional browser, that has access to all external services needed to provide the functionality, a number of secrets are needed at build time. Each of those secrets is tied to expenses, either in infrastructure run by Brave, or in access to paid external services used by the browser. For that reason, while the browser can be built from source by anyone, in practice, to get access to all those services, one needs to use pre-built binaries.

If a way can be found to avoid leaking those secrets, while being included in Arch's default repos, we could have this package in Arch, without having to use AUR.

How is this not in the extra repository? Does it need 2346 more votes?

After installed brave-bin I got:

I'm not really sure if anything changed upstream or in the package but the binary /opt/brave-bin/brave/brave is referenced as /opt/brave-bin/brave in /usr/bin/brave on line 25

$brave
/usr/bin/brave: line 25: /opt/brave-bin/brave: Is a directory
/usr/bin/brave: line 25: exec: /opt/brave-bin/brave: cannot execute: Is a directory
