a little documentation for those wanting to use this nice! patch to irritating problem.
run sudo /usr/share/code-marketplace/patch.py code-marketplace patch
just once. close all open windows of oss-codioum. restart and it should now be functional. After that my understanding is that it will watch for changes to /usr/lib/code/product.json
and run this again. That's not documented I just cloned the aur repo and took a look at the .hook file.
btw found this package after reading this post [https://stackoverflow.com/a/65035969/4695378]

Upgrading notes for v1.81.1
The code has been refactored in python, upgrading requires manual interventions:
Don't reinstall them, uninstall and install these packages instead.
Since the code has been refactored, you can easily modify the code to upgrade to a new version by yourself if I cannot update this package in time. Simply download the latest tarball from code.visualstudio.com and extract them, then run
update.py
to updatepatch.json
(The usage is documented inupdate.py
), and runmakepkg --skipchecksums -i
to rebuild and install this package.sainnhe commented on 2021-04-05 08:00 (UTC) (edited on 2021-04-09 10:08 (UTC) by sainnhe)
This package basically installs a hook that will patch
/usr/lib/code/product.json
to use vscode marketplace every timecommunity/code
is updated.There are some extensions in vscode marketplace that don't work with Code OSS (e.g. pylance and remote-ssh), you can install
code-features
(thanks to @Lightsword) orcode-features-insiders
(thanks to @coxackie_) to unblock them.Btw, you may also be interested in code-icons by @coxackie which will replace the icon of Code OSS with VSCode's.
