@cg505 You are right, I didn't think that one through and in retrospect it should've been obvious, mb. Fixed.

Thank you @mixedCase! As for L21/22, I'm still not entirely sure how it's supposed to work. Doesn't ${pkgname%} just expand to brave-bin, like plain old ${pkgname}? I assumed the intent of these lines was to strip the -bin so that this package conflicts with/provides brave.

Thanks for the report @cg505! Can't test actully setting the default browser here but the detection is working with that change.

As for L21 and L22 fixed it because it was technically working but the code was misleading. Great catch.

@mixedCase Could you rename brave.desktop to brave-browser.desktop? This will resolve the issue where you can't use the button in Brave to set it as the default browser. See https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/e569501ac1d8c4a203776249cee4eaa7ad77dd5f/patches/chrome-browser-shell_integration_linux.cc.patch for the relevant code.

Also, I may be mistaken but I think on lines 21 and 22 of the PKGBUILD you want ${pkgname%-bin} instead of ${pkgname-bin}.

@maximbaz Sure, it has a few things hardcoded and storage relies on Google cloud but the querying mechanism should be straightforward enough: https://gitlab.com/mixedCase/aur-out-of-date-reminder

@mixedCase: could you please share your script that checks for availability of a new stable release? I wanted to setup an urlwatch rule, but the query is not very obvious...

Thank you @maximbaz, very appreciated!

I'm experimenting with Brave and I have pushed PKGBUILD to AUR/brave to compile the browser on our own, it also includes VA-API patch to enable hardware video acceleration just like chromium-vaapi does.

I have the compiled version in my repo as well, if you are interested to play around.

@mixedCase: this package should conflict with brave.

After I posted I thought maybe even inline comments can be supported as well, tested with | sed 's/#.*//', seems to work well :)
