(Re)packaging

Overview

• The Brave browser is released for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS
• Most of those platforms have a unified preferred method of installation and official packages alone are sufficient
• This is not the case on Linux, where each distribution may have a different package format and method of installation
• Official Linux packages cover rpm, deb (and snap) package formats delivered via custom repos (and the snap store)
• Unofficial packages are maintained for Flatpak, Arch, Manjaro and Solus
• This page will contain information relevant to (re)packaging the browser for different platforms/distributions

Recommendations

• Information about released browser versions can be found at versions.brave.com
• The above page links to individual endpoints for each platform/channel/architecture that return the current version
  • Automation should rely on these endpoints, rather than polling GitHub
• Unless a given package is meant to be unstable, only "public" releases should be used
  • Internal releases are published only to GitHub and are meant primarily for testing (marked as pre-release)
  • Public releases are published to all mediums and are meant for general use (marked as full release)
