Helios

This program provides a simple & unsophisticated updater for the Helium browser by imput, using Serde & reqwest. The safety of this program is not guaranteed, and your mileage may vary.

Building

Run cargo build --release.

Usage 

Usage: helios [COMMAND]

Commands:
  check   Check for updates without installing
  update  Install or update Helium

Notes

  • Tarball verification is currently not implemented due my distaste of anything PGP-related; I'm not going through that pain right now. I am not liable for any damages caused if the Helium authors bungle something up, or are bungled.
  • Updating is manual. You can create a simple script and user daemon to notify you of new updates using this, but I'm not doing that for you.
  • This flag is hardcoded into the included helium.desktop file: --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks
