brave-origin-bin
Category: local-install (plain upstream AUR package, not maintained by this
project; rebuilt so archlinuxaba/the cluster gets it too — see
[[feedback_local_install_rebuilds]]).
AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave-origin-bin — official
Brave-maintained binary release of “Brave Origin” (the de-googled/no-Leo variant
of the browser). Not to be confused with brave-bin (regular Brave), which is a
separate, unrelated package on this system.
arch=(x86_64 aarch64) only — no i486/i686/pentium4/arm32 build, prebuilt
Chromium binaries aren’t published for those archs by upstream. No local edits
carried on top of upstream (vanilla pkgrel, plain-integer scheme applies on
future rebuilds, same as any unmodified local-install package).
2026-09-04 update: 1.92.139 -> 1:1.94.119-1
Follow-up to a plain rebuild request from the user (“update message inside
brave-origin”). Followed the standard local-install workflow: backed up
/data/INSTALL/brave-origin-bin to -old, fresh-cloned from AUR,
repo_release.sh. Built clean on x86_64 locally and aarch64 remotely
(eurobuild14) with no PKGBUILD changes needed. Published successfully to both
archs; verified via a direct remote ls (repo path is
/data/arch32/mirror/archlinuxaba/os/<arch>/, not the mirror root).
Namcap noise (E: ELF files outside opt/, E: MPL2 not an SPDX id, various
“uninstalled dependency”/"unused shared library” warnings for the Qt shim libs
and vulkan/swiftshader libs) is all expected/cosmetic for this kind of binary
Chromium-based package — same shape as brave-bin and other prebuilt browser
packages. Not actionable.
Was not yet in arch/scripts/install_only_packages before this session (the
earlier /data/INSTALL/brave-origin-bin checkout predates that file’s
convention, or was just never added) — added it now
(local-install/brave-origin-bin) so OVERVIEW.md/the site picks it up.
