What @slimb says actually already happened a few times. I've tried tracking the master
branch of vscodium and the main
branch of vscode, but that would regularly break since Microsoft would make changes that are not fixed in vscodium yet.
This is why I'm using the same script the vscodium build is using to determine which tag of vscode to check out, but this needs to happen at build time, I cannot simply do this at source=()
time, making this build tricky, and pkgver()
not update automatically in the AUR.
I think the only thing I can do is set up a CI that tracks the vscodium master branch, executes the build and pushes the update to the AUR git repo.

NOTE: If you are building in a chroot, make sure package
systemd-sysvcompat
is installed on your system, as this is required fornvm
. This cannot be included in the dependencies, since it will break on non-systemd distributions.cedricroijakkers commented on 2021-04-10 15:26 (UTC)
This package is now the git build of the very latest commit on the VSCodium branch. If you wish to use the latest released version, switch to the
vscodium
package.
