Not that I've followed it much lately, but last time I checked this was pretty much why chromium won't be stabled anytime soon: http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html Granted, it's a work in progress fixing these problems. But bundled libraries is generally a very bad idea and a good reason not to stable. http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2009/12/forking.html Is the "reply" (not official that is) from one of the Chromium devs. Linux and Windows are really different and thus having something stable in windows does not make it stable in Linux. Well, let's let maintainers to decide, anyway. We don't want to stabilize packages that upstream doesn't consider stable. The Linux versions of Chromium are still not feature-complete, and stabilizing a dev channel release is not really a good idea. It's not even beta. Please stay tuned... I would like to reopen the bug request after todays post http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2010/05/www-clientchromium-soon-to-go-stable-in.html and add a comment that the -bin version would be also something good to have stable. Thanks for your interest. However, to keep things organized, I'm going to open a fresh stabilization bug after all the conditions for marking a package stable are satisfied. See http://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html Please also note that the -bin package has problems (it's more or less a random snapshot from the upstream buildbot), and in the current shape it can't be made stable. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 321491 *** |
