@alerque decide yourself, what you want to be included.

I have updated my PKGBUILD to v1.30.86. I only tested COMPONENT=4, compiles with makepkg.conf CFLAGS/XX, LTO + PGO. But there a bad CFLAGS (from standard makepkg.conf) flags left, that need to be filtered.

@monarc99 You've clearly done a bit more fiddling with the assorted patches an options that are out there. I'm not sure all of your changes are generally applicable (not saying they aren't, I haven't had time to dig into each), but if there is anything you think should be put in the AUR here do feel free to open pull requests.

i made my own PKGBUILD for 1.29.77 a few days ago. Maybe you can use something from it.

a good source for the patches is the arch chromium PKGBUILD

@alerque tried your build very quickly, the basic seems fine (I can't test other features unfortunately). Good job

I've been messing around with bumping this version (experimental branch here) but there are some changes to patches and I haven't had time to work out yet if dropping the patches breaks anything. If anybody wants to try out v1.29.79 and report back to me, you can get it via pacman -U https://arch.alerque.com/x86_64/brave-1.29.79-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

@figue Some packages are harder than others to keep fresh! 95% of them are super easy periodic bumps & build tests. A few big obnoxious ones (like this one!) take more time and effort than 100 simple ones (I may or may not already be having buyers remorse after adopting this!).

Appeal for co-maintainers: I'd be very interested if anybody else out there was willing to take this on. Long term I have an eye on moving it to [community], but there are a number of road blocks to overcome before that can happen: some upstream and some local to this packaging. The PKGBUILD needs a bit of work, and even without trying to clean it up maintaining Chromium builds of any kind is quite a bit of work. I adopted this with the aim of shepherding it until I feel comfortable pulling it into [community], but until then I would love if one or more co-maintainers would jump on here.

Feel free to send patches in comments, via email, or as PRs to this repository.

@alerque thank you very much for taking care.

Cheers

PD: just curiosity... How you maintain 615 packages in AUR? XD That's incredible dude. Your awesome.

alerque commented on 2021-08-29 05:59 (UTC)

@figure You can put me on it.

figue commented on 2021-08-28 23:26 (UTC)

I think I'll abandon this package. Any volunteers to adopt it? If not, I'll orphan in a few days.
