@jaro3 it's up to you. I'm still compiling, no issues here for now. You can restart build with "makepkg -e". Sometimes builds segfault in my build machine, but -e continue the build.

This package build fails again and again....

Compiling brave-rust v0.1.0 (/usr/src/tmp/brave/src/brave-browser/src/brave/build/rust) Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 2m 10s ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. null null ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

Does it have any merit over the easy to install bin packages? I am using the latest brave-nightly-bin and it actually works....

Release 1.27.111 is untested... I don't have access to my build machine until the end of the month. If something fails or I made some mistake, post a patch or tell me and I will try to fix it. Thanks for understanding.

@rakin09 Brave is Chromium with a different skin and some other changes strapped on top. Of course it needs the Chromium sources to build. Brave did not invent a new rendering engine, only adapted one to their goals. The Chromium source tree is huge partly because Google chose to vendor everything inside it, so virtually every library it uses is in the source tree. You can think that is egregious (and I would agree with you) but it is what it is. That's not the fault of this packaging.

I was trying to build brave through pamac but it failed.. Then tried with trizen. I was shocked to see that trizen was downloading Chromium Sources .. Why did you add Chromium source and why it's size is 22G!?

@alerque I've read a couple of github issues and forums complaining about this. The answer is that Brave is a company and they spent money in those services. So we have to understand their position. You can open an issue to their github, but is obvious that they will say the same.

The message in post_install() will be added in the next release. Thanks

@figue It might be worth having instructions for that in a post_install() message. Maybe even more important though, do we have an upstream issue open for it yet? Even if they don't take it seriously now maybe months down the road when enough people have bumped into this it could start holding weight.

@alerque yeah... You can always have the official binary release and open it from time to time to keep upgrading the components. Not the ideal solution, but it works for now.

@figue That's a bummer to hear. I think it's worth fighting to keep this working, otherwise the hope of getting it in official repos goes to near zero. Unfortunately Chromium is having issues as well, and of course Firefox has had a history of issues. Browser vendors are just notorious for not being distro friendly,Brave unfortunately not being an exception.
