I have seen others inquire concerning a read only file system. I installed raspberry-overlayroot-git from the AUR. No clue if it is still maintained. However, it works nicely and would think it or something similar would be a great addition to the repo.
Edit: Actually, that -git is out of date. How is that? I thought a -git pulled the latest version?
But anyway, here it is on github
For a while now, I’ve been maintaining the ARM version on Vivaldi on the AUR (AUR (en) - vivaldi-arm-bin). I’ve tried to get this package included upstream in the Arch Linux repos, and notified the Arch forums about the problems with the existing package, but no-one ever replied to me:
I was wondering whether anyone here could take a look at the PKGBUILD + *.install file, provide some feedback, and potentially include the package in the Manjaro ARM repos if there’s any interest.
1 bit of feedback only “packagers” care about is how frequent the updates are in upstream.
Chromium based browsers have a tendency to update often. Sometimes multiple times per week.
So, how often does upstream release a new version of the browser?
We would also need written permission from the Vivaldi team to redistribute the binaries.
Looks kind of erratic. But roughly 2–3x a month. Out of interest, would written permission granted to Manjaro x86_64 extend to Manjaro ARM, as Vivaldi is already in their repos?
I have tested the Vivaldi package and I think it runs better on an RPi4 than the basic Chromium package. For me, Firefox is still the better option as it seems to place a lesser load on the RPi4, but Vivaldi with hardware acceleration enabled, is not too far off of the mark.
If you are in arm-unstable, you will get the arm-unstable version by a simple mirror sync and update. But maybe you are referring to the git version?
To install the git version, I ran:
We currently have no plans to support UEFI on the Rasbperry Pi.
First release of this was in January, so it’s still really new. It looks to be in very active development though.
I would expect it to pop up in the AUR at some point though.
Sure. I am in the process of compiling the new 5.11 and 5.12 kernels to make packages. I will do that afterwards. Today is my going to town for groceries day so I may not get to it until later on tonight.
Don’t worry ! I’m not in a hurry but I’ve seen upgrade on my windows pc and I’ve write this post to remind that there are news.
By the way, how to install i18n with code ? On my windows pc I didn’t do anything and I have a localized version. It’s not really an issue for me but I have a young kid who try to code with python and it can help to have a localized app.
