@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

Thank you @maximbaz, very appreciated!

I'm experimenting with Brave and I have pushed PKGBUILD to AUR/brave to compile the browser on our own, it also includes VA-API patch to enable hardware video acceleration just like chromium-vaapi does.

I have the compiled version in my repo as well, if you are interested to play around.

@mixedCase: this package should conflict with brave.

After I posted I thought maybe even inline comments can be supported as well, tested with | sed 's/#.*//', seems to work well :)

mixedCase commented on 2019-06-24 08:10 (UTC)

Oof nice catch, I forgot to retest that after some var renames. And great suggestion, included as well. Thanks maximbaz!

Perhaps also support comments in the conf file by replacing $(cat FILE) with $(cat FILE | sed 's/#.*//'), it can be useful.

Beautiful work @mixedCase, thanks a lot! You have a typo in BRAVE_USER_FLAGS_FILE, you use USER_FLAGS_FILE variable instead when trying to actually read the file. Otherwise works great!

Hey guys, just pushed an update to solve some of Brave's annoyances, thanks to all the users who reported them and sorry for taking so long.

navarroaxel: Didn't have that so I just added it. It will look in $XDG_CONFIG_DATA/brave-flags.conf (or ~/.config/brave-flags.conf) for your custom flags.

Smit_17: From what I can tell it helped the old Brave codebase (Muon) locate Pepper Flash. Now that's gone and replaced with a new hack for enabling it manually when the pepper-flash package is installed.

maximbaz: Thanks for the tip, added it as well.

And finally, please let me know if this broke anything since there are a few ugly changes.

FYI if you are struggling with making xdg-open use Brave as default browser, the workaround is to update /usr/bin/brave to always return 0 exit code - I updated it like the following:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [[ ! (-r /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone && $(< /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone) == 1 && -n $(zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_USER_NS=y) ) ]]; then
    >&2 echo "User namespaces are not detected as enabled on your system, brave will run with the sandbox disabled"
    FLAG="--no-sandbox"
fi

/usr/lib/brave-bin/brave "$@" "$FLAG" || true

@aramirez, the ArchWiki says that the base-devel package group is required to install packages from AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started. So is not required add those packages on makedepends.

aramirez commented on 2019-06-15 23:15 (UTC)

Hi. I believe this package requires 'fakeroot' and 'm4' in order to build. They should be added to the makedepends.
