I am in no way afiliated with Vivaldi-browser, except as a user.

This is just a mirror from https://vivaldi.com/source

The file README has the original readme from the developpers.

Building

(Thanks to RAZR_96 for providing these instructions in this comment)

1. The build instructions (from the README file) is missing a command to make the file (or you could make it manually): vivaldi-source\testdata\stp.viv and add to the file: // Vivaldi Standalone

2. Build according to the instructions on the README file

3. The build will use a standalone profile as a result of this file. To use your normal profile you need to delete stp.viv from:
   vivaldi-source\out\Release. Be aware that using different versions of Vivaldi on the same profile will give an error on start up. It'll probably still work but I wouldn't advise it.

4. Once you've built it you need to find where Vivaldi is installed and copy this folder: Vivaldi\Application\1.8.770.50\resources\vivaldi

5. to this directory: vivaldi-source\out\Release\resources\

If anyone wants to build on windows, there's a build.bat here. You also need WinSparkle. Extract the contents of the zip to:

vivaldi-source\third_party_winsparkle_lib

And lastly the 'Release' folder will be about 30GB once built. Not all of the files/folders in it are needed to run the browser. So here's a Powershell script I made that copies only the stuff you need.

Note for the maintainer - How to update the repository

Setup

ssh $USER@$FAST_MACHINE
cd /var/tmp/
mkdir -p ${USER:0:2}
cd ${USER:0:2}
curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh > Miniconda.sh
bash Miniconda.sh -b -p /var/tmp/${USER:0:2}/co
source /var/tmp/${USER:0:2}/co/bin/activate
conda install git
git config --global user.name  "..."
git config --global user.email "..."

Committing a version

git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:ric2b/Vivaldi-browser.git w

curl -O https://vivaldi.com/source/vivaldi-source_5.2...tar.xz
time tar --xz -xf ... && mv vivaldi-source v0 && ls -la

mv w/{.git,README.md} v0
cd v0
time git add . && time git commit -m 'Added version 5...' > /dev/null && git tag 5...
git log --oneline
cd ..

Committing a second version

curl -O https://vivaldi.com/source/vivaldi-source_5.2...tar.xz
time tar --xz -xf ... && mv vivaldi-source v1 && ls -la
ls -ld v{0,1}/.git
# rm -rf v1/.git

mv v0/{.git,README.md} v1
...

Pushing and cleaning up

git status | grep -v chromium
git push
git push --tags
cd ..

cd ..

ls -l

rm -rf

process.sh -- automate version addition from a list of urls

extract_version() {
    local v="${1##*vivaldi-source_}"
    echo "${v%.tar.xz}"
}

add() {
    ###
    previous_directory="$1"
    file_url="$2"
    file_name="${file_url##*/}"
    version="$(extract_version "$file_url")"
    echo "(PREVIOUS_DIRECTORY $previous_directory) (URL $file_url) (FILE $file_name) (VERSION $version)"
    ###

    (
        set -xe
        wget "$file_url"
        tar --xz -xf "$file_name"
        # echo $(($(ls vivaldi-source -la | awk '{ print "+"$2 }')))
        # while echo $(date '+%H:%M:%S-') $(($(ls vivaldi-source -la | awk '{ print "+"$2 }'))); do sleep 1; done
        mv vivaldi-source "v$version"
        rm "$file_name"
        
        mv "$previous_directory"/{.git,README.md} "v$version" && rm -r "$previous_directory"
        cd "v$version"
        git add .
        git commit -m "Added version $version" | grep -v chromium
        git tag "$version"
        cd ..
    )
}

previous=w
while IFS= read -r file_url; do
    add "$previous" "$file_url"
    previous="v$(extract_version "$file_url")"
done
cd "$previous"
git push && git push --tags
