For those interested in running www-client/chromium-bin on amd64, here is what's missing: * unmask of newer emul-linux-x86-* packages * 32bit (emul package) gconf and ORBit2 Both already have a bug open, setting them as dependencies of this one
Will there be an option to have a chromium ebuild where we compile from scratch? I know it's a 32bit app but perhaps we could have a solution like we have for wine
Possible, but this bug is about the -bin version ;) Please open a new bug for a source version request. For now I don't think it's worth it, it needs a huge checkout, long compilation and it's still very alpha, but this will probably change later
The chromium buildbot now provides native 64bits packages, so this got suddenly easier! ~amd64 keyword available from 4.0.204.0_p24859 (just committed to tree). Now on to finish the source ebuild :)
Have you looked at the ebuilds on the forums? I've got chromium 64bit build from source here
Yes, I'm watching the thread, my current ebuild uses some of their findings there :) In fact the ebuild is about ready, but lacks a few important things like source tarballs availability... I'll post a status update on bug #278975

If you could also get the library option working and add as-needed support I'm gessing there would be a speed improvement (I took a look at these but my coding skills weren't up to scratch)
