IF/WHEN the package goes out of date. Just download this repo and run ./update_pkg.sh and then build the package manually with makepkg. That should work until the version is updated on the AUR.

If anyone wants to help with the maintenance of the package (its basically executing a script, doing a sanity check, and then push to git), feel free to send me a mail. I've already added two people as co-maintainers. Lets see if that helps.

@TheGoliath @Feakster Sorry it got so long to catch up with the request, but rest assured, I haven't abandoned the package :)

I'll have a look at the proposed changes and see where we end up!

Just noticed what @TheGoliath wrote, having emailed something similar to @lucifermstar this morning (although @TheGoliath did a better job of the PKGBUILD than me). I agree with the @TheGoliath's comments... it would simplify the maintenance of this package is the ARM variants could be rolled into it. I don't mind helping out with the maintenance as I use it on both x86_64 and aarch64 devices.

I updated the package, again.

As I mentioned before, Vivaldi now downloads the extra ffmpeg codecs by itself at first boot. Hence this package is obsolete.

Proposing removing this package, again.

At some point /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi started running /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg --user automatically, effectively rendering this package useless. Only the first launch is affected because the plugin is downloaded in the background; on the second launch the plugin is installed in the users home folder.

I'm proposing deprecating and/or removing this package as obsolete.

PS. There was a out-of-date flag, and I double-checked the repositories and it was a false alarm. Plus, current Vivaldi 3.0.1874.32 installs the same version of the plugin. However, Vivaldi does try to load /opt/vivaldi/libffmpeg.so.N.N using Vivaldi version number before the home dir provided file, so there may be some rare corner case where this mechanism could still provide useful.

@rnbguy My apologies, I just now fully understood what you meant. After brief testing, I updated the package with as you suggested (along with more restricted file name matching logic).

@direc85 Ah. It works now, because currently the latest version is "80.0.3987.87-0ubuntu0.18.04.1". But if there was an another version "80.0.3987.100-0ubuntu0.18.04.1", it will still pick the old one.
