I'm always frustrated when [...] I think the RPM package needs to be manually updated. Describe the solution you'd like, including relevant patches or source A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Having a package on RPMFusion. Unlike official Fedora repositories, they don't have a problem with codecs. Or a custom repository. Additional Notes Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. The documentation for uploading packages to RPMFusion is here.

AFAIK noone of current contributors of Thorium uses Fedora regularly.

So maintainance resources are pretty much limited here.

I use Nobara (built on Fedora), and updates are handled by going to GitHub releases and simply installing the latest .rpm file (software takes care of it). Sure, something could be made to let you know that there's a new Thorium release out, but the process is already fairly straightforward.

I'd try out something that can notify you when a repo has a new release: https://github.blog/changelog/2018-11-27-watch-releases/ or https://akomljen.com/an-easy-way-to-track-new-releases-on-github/

Interesting, but it isn't as convenient as a dnf update and I guess there's some sort of tradeoff with dependency analysis.

Hmm, is it possible to create some sort of simple proxy that wraps Github Releases API and acts like package manager repositories?

I'll try this.

Let me know how this went, as an openSUSE user I am very curious about this

I didn't really do anything. It should theoretically be doable, but I don't know if I want to drown myself in DNF or zypper specifications.

For this particular package though, I don't think you need a repository. Chromium apparently implements everything in one package and there's no dependency that Fedora doesn't already have. I imagine you can just download the zip file.

+1 for Fedora COPR or RPMFusion

Same here having t o update thorium manually is annoying, especially since chrome can do it.

We have package managers for a reason.

I second this.
