ungoogled-chromium-archlinux

Arch Linux packaging for ungoogled-chromium.

A note on reproducibility

Just as the official archlinux package, binaries compiled from this repository are reproducible. Still different build systems will in most cases produce different binaries. This is due to the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable not being the same.

To check the reproducibility of a binary, repro can be used. It will use a timestamp stored in the package.

Docker images built by GitHub Actions since version 92.0.4515.131-1 will use a predefined timestamp for building, meaning that a given image will always produce the same binary.

Binary Downloads

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

• Contributor Binaries Source
• OBS Production Project
• OBS Development Project

Open Build Service Repository

Use these commands to add the OBS repository:

curl -s 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Arch/x86_64/home_ungoogled_chromium_Arch.key' | sudo pacman-key -a -
echo '
[home_ungoogled_chromium_Arch]
SigLevel = Required TrustAll
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Arch/$arch' | sudo tee --append /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman -Sy

Use this command to install ungoogled-chromium:

sudo pacman -Sy ungoogled-chromium

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).
