it would be good to have also the user flags https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/brave-bin.sh?h=brave-bin#n5

This is now also fixed in brave-nightly-bin at https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=brave-nightly-bin#n44

Doesn't work with linux-hardened, presumably because of CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED!=y.

% zgrep CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED is not set
% brave-beta
[72909:72909:1021/004455.869326:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/brave.com/brave-beta/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

The stable package brave-bin addresses this here https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=brave-bin#n51 with

# allow firejail users to get the suid sandbox working
chmod 4755 "$pkgdir/usr/lib/brave-bin/chrome-sandbox"

I don't think it conflicts with brave-bin.

@DaOfficialRolex I know I can modify the pkgbuild, I was only rude because @whezzel was surprised when he received 3 messages regarding the error, and then decided to stop maintaining the package when I called him out on that. BTW whezzel I'm sorry for what I said, I know that being a maintainer of an open source project is stressing.

DaOfficialRolex commented on 2020-11-12 20:55 (UTC)

@Ferrry you legit can modify the pkgbuild and build it on your system yourself there was no point in being rude about it. Brave changes there upstream source all the time and it is hard to keep it up. Thank you @whezzel for maintaining the package as long as you did. Despite all the rude people you had to deal with.

I've picked this up. Many thanks to @whezzel. Maintaining these packages takes a lot of work especially when upstream changes a lot. Greatly appreciated.

Very mature of you, well done, you surely work well under pressure
