[Slackbuilds-users] brave-browser-the-latest broken weeks

[Antonio Leal]

I'm the culprit author of the brave-browser-the-latest script :-)

This script exists because I want to have my browser updated immediately 
and not wait for SlackBuilds merge.

  I read two issues described in the thread:

1) Prevent running the script if brave if the regular brave SlackBuild 
is installed.

2) "/brave-browser-the-latest never gets its .deb, and then attempts to 
make package but doesn't check this failed rather than still tries to 
install it./"

         Check if the deb file was correctly downloaded

Maybe the README could also be improved

Anyway I know other slackers are running it from the feedback I got.

Thanks for using it and for the report. I'll certainly have a look at it.
