ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

Arch Linux packaging for ungoogled-chromium.

A note on reproducibility

While extra/chromium builds are reproducible, this repository currently doesn't publish reproducible builds:

• Due to limitations of GitHub Actions it's not possible to continuously run the build process on GitHub-hosted runners. This prevents being able to build in a reproducible way.

Container images published by this repository will (since version 92.0.4515.131-1) always produce the same output, this however is not compatible by tools like repro

Binary Downloads

You can get pre-built binaries from the following sources:

• AUR ungoogled-chromium-bin

Open Build Service Repository

Previously this project published releases in a Open Build Service Repository. This has since broken for various reasons, please switch to the AUR -bin package instead.

Building

On your host (aur)

In the AUR there are multiple ungoogled-chromium flavors:

1. ungoogled-chromium: regular ungoogled-chromium
2. ungoogled-chromium-git: ungoogled-chromium but using the master branch of upstream UC patches.

On your host (manually)

For the latest full version, run the following commands:

# Install required dependencies. Make sure your user has access to sudo
sudo pacman -S base-devel

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

# Navigate into the repository
cd ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

# Check out the latest tag
git checkout $(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)

# Start the build, this will download all necessary dependencies automatically
makepkg -s

For the latest testing version, run these commands instead:

# Install required dependencies. Make sure your user has access to sudo
sudo pacman -S base-devel

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

# Navigate into the repository
cd ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

# Start the build, this will download all necessary dependencies automatically
makepkg -s

If the build succeeds, you can run makepkg --install or pacman -U ungoogled-chromium-*.pkg.*. Running the latter requires root permission.

In a container

For the latest testing version, run these commands instead:

# Create a directory for the package output
mkdir output

# Start the build, the image already contains all nessesarry dependencies
docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/output,target=/mnt/output ghcr.io/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux-testing:latest

Now you can install the package using pacman -U output/ungoogled-chromium-*.pkg.*, this requires root permission.

Hardware Requirements

A 64-bit system is required, as Arch has dropped 32-bit support. 8 GB of RAM is highly recommended (per the document in the Chromium source tree under docs/linux_build_instructions.md).
