Due to lack of time, some programs may be out of date. But those who wish to co-maintain are welcome.

Bricsys does not provide a permanent link, even if you contact us. To use, download it at https://www.bricsys.com/protected/download.do and place it in the PKGBUILD folder.

21.2.02 is out. Just changed "pkgver=21.2.02" and "md5sums=('b7e33b8ab7412260d59470a80ec58d54')" in PKGBUILD to install.

Trying to use it with Gnome+Wayland (intel gpu) but no success. Works with Gnome+X11 (coredump on exit). Anyone with better luck ?

For those of you who just want to get this working I edited the md5sum for the download of the newest V21 file

Additionally once you install you're going to have to give your user permissions to the /var/bricsys folder with the chgrp command.

Idk if this is the optimal way to go about this but it worked for me.

I can't activate the license though. I am lead to think it has something to do with permissions:

"No rehostable hostid top-level dir (error code -148)"
