@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.

For anyone having issues with the browser loading the 1.25 brave-beta-bin browser fixes the problem. If we all of that issue it might be worth updating to the beta here anyways.

Having issues with Brave refusing to load pages. Seems to have gotten worse with the latest update.

@mixedCase Could removing that reflink=auto flag break GNU releases? Can't we just add a flag or detection method for using a version of those lines with and without it? Isn't it pretty easy to detect if someone does not have cp? I think it's like 4 lines of a script.

Some of those optimizations definitely impact performance depending on how the code is written in certain use cases.

@Th30 I don't use Brave rewards, but I've seen people complaining about the same thing in the Brave subreddit. Seems like a cross-platform issue.

I haven't had any 'brave rewards' ads in about two months. Is it the same for you?

mixedCase commented on 2021-04-30 21:08 (UTC)

@konicks Arch is a GNU system, GNU cp being part of the base package and therefore expected. And reflink=auto is a behavior that should be the default in coreutils to make use of CoW where possible.

But... honestly this is such a pointless optimization and you went through the trouble of asking so giving you the benefit of the doubt that you actually have a usecase for it, I went ahead and removed it.

Cheers.

@mixedCase sorry to bother but would you please remove the GNU only flag in the first cp command of the package function (--reflink=auto)? It's better to only use POSIX compliant flags in scripts and packages (man 1p command for posix man page of that command) and because of that flag the package doesn't build on systems with different userland coreutils (BSD, Plan9, BusyBox, ToyBox, UNIX v5, etc). Also, the flag is pretty weirdly placed and doesn't seem to serve a concrete role in significantly improving build speed or build quality, it's just kinda...there, and it means the package requires modifications on non GNU systems

I made a modified PKGBUILD file: https://pastebin.com/4zEfYsJW

Cheers, Nick

What are the "rules" for votes? As in, who actually looks at them? Should we be voting for the source "brave" package instead? Thanks for your work on this!

mixedCase commented on 2021-03-29 00:37 (UTC)

@ThePierrezou I don't know of any place where Brave uploads signatures (if they even make one) for the files we build upon. Patches welcome if there's actually such a place.

kyuzial commented on 2021-03-28 21:35 (UTC)

Is it possible to get the PKGBUILD to verify the signature of the package please ? https://brave.com/signing-keys/

Thanks for the bin package! Compiling brave takes over 6hr on this machine so really appreciate your contribution! Last time updated brave it timed out on a chromium request (continued to build) as I was asleep.
