Description Fabian Köster 2010-10-09 13:11:04 UTC

www-client/chromium is already ~arm keyworded and it would be really nice to stabilize the stable-channel releases which are also stable on x86 and amd64.

I am using Chromium productively on ARMv7a and it is working really nice.

Reproducible: Always

I'm not sure if we have enough manpower to do frequent stabilizations on arm (most of the stable channel updates are security fixes, and they are quite frequent). If we do, that's great, but feel free to pass.

armin76 and me discussed this and at the moment, we do not want to stabilize it. reasons are primary that there are high release cycles combined with long build times (~24h). And we provide firefox, which has less releases, and works w/o issues.
