A temporary fix has been put in place until the original repo is restored. You will be able to install Zen again. Once the original repo is restored I will revert the change.

Until this issue is resolved, a temporary source will be used instead (still official)

What's difference zen-browser vs zen-browser-bin?

Once again requiring a clean install with 1.11b. - Paru was failing with validity checks. deleting ~/.cache/paru/clone/zen-browser-bin allowed it to pass. ymmv

Due to the fact that 1.10b has re-released with fixes. If you have previously updated to 1.10b you most likely will be getting a validity check error. You will need to run a clean build so it can delete the old 1.10b that is outdated.

It's back now and they announced it on their twitter so I would assume it's safe

Ohh alr very weird hope you get a response

Larvey commented on 2025-03-19 00:53 (UTC)

I have reverted the version to 1.9.1b since 1.10b got yeeted from the GitHub releases page (not sure why, no announcement or anything or any notes from the devs). If there is a large delay between when 1.10b re-releases and the AUR updates I apologize. I will try to update as soon as I can.

Larvey commented on 2025-03-19 00:47 (UTC)

Looks like the version got deleted. It was up when I pushed the change (I swear). I have contacted the dev team asking why the release was deleted from github.

1.10 doesn't exist why is this on that version?

I've noticed that this package, unlike zen-browser, firefox and other Firefox forks packages in AUR, installs its files in /opt, not /usr/lib. Is there any reason for that?

I'm planning to include Zen in my vencord package and I prefer not to have a separate package for the normal and -bin packages simply because they install in different directories.

Also, I think the install directory shouldn't include the -bin suffix.
