#356 Request for inclusion of brave as a 3rd party repo
Closed: Won't fix 2 years ago by catanzaro. Opened 2 years ago by frankjunior.

Consider adding brave as a 3rd party repos brave is a opensource browser app with a good support and privacy respecting behavior.
the browser and all patches are with MPL-2.0 license and project in github
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser
https://github.com/brave/brave-core
https://github.com/brave/brave-ui
there repo https://brave.com/linux/#release-channel-installation
we already have chrome which is not opensource so it should be added
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/workstation-working-group/third-party-repos/
as we means fedora aims for opensource https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/


As long as this repo contains appstream metadata, I don't see why not. But does it?

If it looks good in GNOME Software, then we can do it.

Can you please take a screenshot of what you see in GNOME Software after adding this repo and searching for Brave?

They don't have AppStream repodata files. Both the x86_64 repo and the AArch64 repo lack appstream.xml.gz and appstream-icons.tar.gz files in the repomd.xml index file.

I've filed a report with Brave as gh#brave/brave-browser#27817.

OK, thanks.

I'll reject this request for now. Feel free to reopen when https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/27817 is fixed.
