Arch Linux User Repository

There is no new tagged (or otherwise differentiable) version to update to. Existing bumps to arbitrary revisions have been done whenever I get around to it to avoid the package falling into complete disrepair (which would cause it to be deleted and most likely recreated by some third party) and to make sure that people who don't pay attention don't get a version that is years out of date. The actual package has always been ladybird-git, and that will remain the case for the foreseeable future as well.

The PKGBUILD does not properly disable vcpkg telemetry as described in https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/3816. We should probably take care of this.

@Sateallia alright. There's also the option to build ladybird with a compilation cache, so only the changed files are recompiled if you update git commits.

@RubenKelevra I prefer not to use Chaotic-AUR as I connect to systems that aren't mine and I don't wish to expose them to any danger that comes from third party repositories. If timschumi declines my proposal/request, I will look into setting up a builder of my own so thank you for the idea.

@Sateallia you can install ladybird without the need for compilation via chaotic-aur. The only thing necessary for more up-to-date updates would be, that someone confirms that a git version is building and then move this package here up to this commit.

ladybird-git often breaks because of vcpkg updates. Even when it builds properly, it moves too fast for me since I'm on a low-powered computer and building multiple times in a day takes too much time. Considering Ladybird is planning an alpha release in 2026, it would be nice if this package could be updated at least once a month to an arbitrary random commit. This would also allow people that evaluate Ladybird every month (after the monthly TMiL bulletins) to follow Ladybird's progress.

This package should update more frequently. Maybe every "This Month in Ladybird"?

I crash right after installation. Not sure if it's ABI problem or something else (even if it is, why ABI problem when build locally)

Needs to have skia-git as a dependency.

just compiled and installed the package, but it complains about skia:

Ladybird: error while loading shared libraries: libskia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

installing skia-git fixes it but i still have Ladybird having missing links:

libicui18n.so.74 => not found
libicuuc.so.74 => not found
libicudata.so.74 => not found

libavcodec.so.60 => not found
libavformat.so.60 => not found
libavutil.so.58 => not found

will try ladybird-git
