Description Yixun Lan archtester gentoo-dev 2021-10-26 01:42:58 UTC
Opening this mainly for tracking the RISC-V arch support, there is currently one SUSE developer (Andreas) [1] pushing this, and it still need a few additional patches, I have built chromium-93/94 locally, it barely works but have problem/segfault with some URL

[1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Andreas_Schwab:riscv:chromium/chromium

Reproducible: Always

What is the status of this?
A number of Linux Distributions now include Chromium for Riscv.
Here are the patches used by Arch Linux https://github.com/felixonmars/archriscv-packages/tree/master/chromium.
Even the Debian release for the VisionFive 2 Riscv SBC has chromium 103. See https://github.com/starfive-tech/Debian/releases

We barely have the man power to maintain it for amd64. We would need a volunteer to maintain the necessary change for riscv.

If you want to maintain, build, and test this please go ahead; I could use the help - submit a PR.

While I have RiscV hardware, each chromium bump is at least two hours on a fast amd64 system. Adding a cross compile and test to that is not feasible for me; I have enough trouble with the raptor engineering ppc64 patches and I trust them to maintain their stuff.

When riscv is upstreamed I'll happily maintain the keyword, until then, in the absence of a dedicated maintainer, I'm not going to entertain this ticket.
