Would it be possible to add Microsoft Edge stable to the repos?
There is a deb repository here and a rpm repository here
Currently I download the deb package manually, extract it and move the data directory in my ~/.local/lib64 directory and add a symlink in ~/.local/bin
I'm not sure how the entire openmamba infra works but, given there is only one maintainer and hundreds of packages, I imagine you have some script to fetch updates from existing repos and build packages from them. I am curious on how that works.
I've checked but the license does not allow to redistribute Microsoft Edge binaries in a public repository.
By the way it might be provided as an openmamba installable component from network, a specific mechanism which locally downloads the upstream archive and creates the RPM. However this requires some more effort than simply creating the package for the repository so I will evaluate doing this work when possible.
The process of updating packages is managed by a chain of openmamba specific tools called autospec, autodist and webbuild which are today provided in a ready-to-use docker environment with the openmamba-docker-buildvm project. This project provides a web interface and scripts that are periodically run to do batch operations like checking for packages to be updated, build them and release to a repository.

I don't think it's worth it at that point. I could whip up a script instead
Actually, isn't redistribution of vscode also not allowed by their license?
I'll check out how vscode's package works
By doing a quick check the license might not allow binary distribution of vscode either, although other official sources like this page seem to be permissive when citing some distributions.
While I need to do further checks when I have time I have removed the visual-studio-package from openmamba repository as a precaution.
