I rarely use vscoduim. As such I might miss the update. I adopted this package, because it was left orphen for a long time. This package is equal to vscodium-bin-features 1.82.0-4. If version changes, I will update it if someone puts a comment here or email me.

if you are having problems with the installation step with it giving a decoder error, you need to uninstall and reinstall vscodium-bin and vscodium-bin-marketplace. then try to install this package again.

@gehenna14 😕

That link is vscodium-features.git, not vscodium-bin-features.git ...

If you're looking for vscodium-bin-features the git link still exists. https://aur.archlinux.org/vscodium-features.git

Does anyone have a copy of the vscodium-bin-features PKGBUILD? it's missing from the AUR.

What happened to vscodium-bin-features, the version adjusted for the vscodium-bin, which is the prebuilt binary version?

I noticed a problem after the last update of vscodium-bin with extensions not showing up anymore (infinite wait cursor).

Turns out uninstalling vscodium-bin-features from my systemd solved that issue.

The next thing I noticed was that it isn't even on the AUR anymore.

I see this version here claims to be compatible with the 'bin' version as well, but it generates an error on install because it tries to look for the wrong path in /usr instead of the actual path in /opt.

So either this extension should be fixed, or removing the other extension was a mistake I guess?

Guys, what's with this cryptic "just read patch.json"?? It's very opaque, and no normal person knows wtf all those keys are. Like,

  • Why is there a million file extensions being redefined to themselves? Don't extensions work in VSCodium to begin with?
  • What is the hardcoded magic aria key?
  • What's with all the URLs?
  • What are the long lists of random extensions?

You really gonna just send people down MS's labyrinthine docs to figure out how VSC internals work, for a simple patch package?

Thankou. It would nice if pkgdesc was updated to describe that this is useful,and move source code to another repo. Hosting main source at AUR is unrecommended.

oech3, yes. The python script patch.py looks for the product.json file, found at '/usr/share/vscodium/resources/app/product.json' (though, for vscodium-bin, the path is '/usr/share/vscodium-bin/resources/app/product.json', a patch should be made to make this work). The file is opened, and modified using the values in patch.json as overrides. These values, such as the infamous "nameShort" and "nameLong" are values the upstream project looks for to determine which features to enable (for example, whether to enable the extensions and themes market). On uninstall it attempts to restore the default values that had been set before patch.py was run.

Does anyone can desc what does package do?

oech3 commented on 2025-07-11 16:20 (UTC)

Does this have proper upstream source?

LemonPie commented on 2025-05-22 17:02 (UTC)

@ammar I disown the package. The package is still up to date with vscodium-bin-featuresbut not with code-features. I no longer use vscode, therefore I can not test the changes.
