Binaries for AUR about firedragon-browser HOT 10 CLOSED

Thanks, hopefully automatic sync comes sometime soon. Would be very useful 👍 Closing issue

Iirc it got deleted due to using the existing Chaotic-AUR package as source - I can't understand the logic behind this. Other -bin packages use artifacts built by some CI tool, Chaotic-AUR is not really different. If it's about the build logs, these are in fact available as well 🙄

Either way, just wanted to let you know i have added chaotic-aur (very easily) and have been using this browser primarily for the past month. Love it a lot ❤️

Edit: Typo

I wouldn't count on it, but I'm not in a position to give the final answer. You don't need to use multilib if it's only going to be used for this package! We say that because many packages require some 32 bit dependencies, which I don't believe any of FireDragon's are. The package database for Chaotic is only 2019.4 KiB, so it's not really an impact on updates.

I see.. I am not very knowledgeable about chaotic aur but would it not be possible to setup a PKGBUILD which points to a binary in the chaotic aur? Something like https://aur.chaotic.cx/firedragon-browser-{arch}-{version}.tar.xz which is fetched, then unzipped and installed?

from firedragon-browser.

Chaotic only hosts the latest version of a file at any given moment, and we don't currently have an automatic sync to the AUR, so it would randomly break when a new build happens. I do see a chance of this happening if we ever get the sync concept fully fleshed out.

Already did this in the past, the package got deleted due to "not following guidelines" :(

from firedragon-browser.

Very sad. Did they provide a reason as to why other than "not following guidelines"?

from firedragon-browser.

I'd suspect it was one of the 'unwritten' rules. My only guess is that it might not have had -bin.

I'm glad you like it ❤️
