I’ve noticed that there is a [binary version of ungoogled-chromium specifically for Arch Linux on the ungoogled-chromium website
ungoogled-software (dot) github (dot) io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries
(My account after the forum migration can’t post links yet, sorry for the weird URL)
I was surprised to see this package doesn’t seem to exist in Manjaro repos or in the AUR (just the non-binary version is available, and takes over an hour to compile).
Am I missing something? If not, what is the best way to install this package?
Would love to see this in official repos if the Manjaro team were open to that @philm
Yes the binaries were all removed from AUR. You have to build it yourself or add a 3rd party repo.
I host it if you want (specifically built on/for manjaro-stable):
(ignore the ublock package … I was testing something) https://cscs.gitlab.io/aur-compiled/
Huh… that doesn’t make sense to me. There are tons of large packages (Brave?) that have both binary and open source packages. For end-users, the open source packages take a huge amount of time and processing power to compile… That really sucks.
Brave provides a binary.
ungoogled is technically a patchset and thus releases no binary other than those submitted by unrelated third parties … such as in the case of arch, those created by available PKGBUILDS … so its a bit different situation.
(or at least thats how I understand it … )
