Install Vivaldi on Manjaro

@AlienProber I strenuously advise you never to listen to that person whom you quoted second. She's a disreputable ratbag for sure.

@Steffie @npro Well, may I sincerely apologized for creating such drama, as this was not my intention. Shall I get more information about a certain change in the futureโฆ
My sole intention were to tell how sweet it is that we as a community asked for this. By imploring โweโ, I am reaching out to every communities related to Arch Linuxโฆ They all play a role in the advancement and final products.
But as you may have known already, it was not Manjaro's sole decision, it is the fact that Vivaldi is now in the official Arch repository. So was I wrong.
I was just happy that it is now in the official community repo!Again, I absolutely condone provocation and building drama, which seems was the result of my original claim.
So I must sincerely apologize for what I have caused.
Said so, as always, have a wonderful day!

@TheQuantumAlpha Um, you do realise, don't you, that my
person whom you quoted second
was me ... not you... don't you? I was mocking me, not you.

@Steffie oh, I wasn't referring to this at all!

@TheQuantumAlpha
Well I was the recipient of that "friendly-cosmetic" reply some lines above (and not @Steffie). I must admit it offended me a lot because it was unproportionally unfair to what I have said which was based on actual facts (Ike, and the Manjaro staff) so I reported it yesterday to Gaelle and cc'ed to Gwen Dragon while I had already written a far more sarcastic, poisonous and meanier reply to show off those skills of mine as well, a reply that would probably hurt us both, but kept it in my drawer until the situation would be somehow resolved. I'm glad I kept it because I suppose that has given you the time to re-read this thread, inform yourself better and acknowledge your mistake, which is good, so I accept this apology, have already deleted that reply from the drawer and my memory and I "downgrade" this incident to a just a bad moment that can happen to anyone including me, so all are good.
With all that said I'd like to inform @Gaรซlle and @Gwen-Dragon that I consider everything resolved in a friendly way. -

Better advice I simply IGNORE you and your bad advice post. Then report your post.

Done - i've now flagged her. Furthermore, i've hidden all her chocolate for the rest of the day. I really do hope she finally learns her lesson.

@TheQuantumAlpha
Thanks for your contribution on this forum. Regarding this comment in particular, sarcasm unfortunately doesn't translate well over written conversations and cultural differences, for that reason in our Code of Conduct we ask in plain text our community members not to use it. We hope you understand. -

@P1000Vivaldi and in general...
So as of today, Vivaldi Stable is in Manjaro's Stable branch:
In case there's a new security update and you desperately need it or it takes longer to appear in the Stable branch (fast-track isn't always 100% reliable), you can check https://manjaro.org/branch-compare/ (*) if the new version is available in the Testing/Unstable branch, then check if those are already sync'd in your Manjaro's Synced Mirror Status (https://repo.manjaro.org) of a Server in your country, then access that particular server & branch directory and install the .pkg.tar.zst via
sudo pacman -U <url>
, or download and install it locally with the same command or via Pamac's GUI (-> install local packages). But this is a specific case, it's not recommended to mix packages from different branches.If it's not updated there then you could look for it in the server's
/pool/sync
directory, as this contains all packages sync'd with Arch's multiple times daily, so it would be there.Alternatively, you could:
-
switch to the Testing branch (if you can or think you can handle it overall) to get things faster
-
a) download the package directly from Arch, and install it locally.
b) build it yourself by downloading the eula.txt and the PKGBUILD and editing the latter with the new version from the above url (a little more advanced), but this is not Manjaro right?
-Also looks like Ike has build a pre-community repo to serve faster, one could add this to
pacman.conf
I suppose, but it's empty atm.-For the Snapshot versions you can follow @Steffie's and @potmeklecbohdan's advice above, or build it yourself -> 2b).
(*)
One could add/update: invalid with new webpage's versionhttps://manjaro.org/branch-compare/?q=
as a search engine -

@npro Excellent work!
OT:
Spoiler
MJ Testing branch was excellent for me, definitely not less stable than Stable, & "happier" in that Stable became far too long between updates, which consequently became huuuuuuuge. IMO, except for beginners [who'd i'd posit maybe shouldn't use an Archie anyway til they're a bit further along their Nix pathway], MJ Testing is an ideal balance between MJ Unstable & MJ Stable.
