as a starting point:

http://install.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/yum/itecs/public/obsolete/rhel6/SRPMS/
http://install.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/yum/itecs/public/chromium-dev/rhel6/SRPMS/

(chromium-50: 
http://install.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/yum/itecs/public/chromium/fedora24/x86_64/)

Somewhere there is a "readme" file or maybe in the spec file (can't remember)
with explanations about the build environment (SCL dev and lib packages etc.)

That was my understanding, that we have a "political" (really legal) issue,
not a technical issue. I hope Karanbir can re-visit this with RedHat.

Does anyone have a cookbook for building chromium under CentOS 6?

Johnny, do you think you could release the steps you took to build what you
did?

It is indeed not completely open source.  I was told that the agreement
between Red Hat and Google only allows the RPMs for RHEL to be released
to subscribers on the supplemental channel.

Sorry, but I can't release it.

I suspect it has to do with their "pepperflash" flash plugin.

Clearly flash is on the way out, so any support for it is not necessary.

that looks like Supplementary content - we've never had that before.

what we might need to do here is work the upstream beyond Red Hat
where this works done, that makes it Supplementary content and not
completely open source. Do we atleast know at this point what that

Thanks. I imagine (hope?) there shouldn't be too much effort to get this to
work, since it's already been done upstream. RedHat continues to push out

This is just a script that pulls some libraries from a Fedora repo.
Unfortunately that approach won't hold muster with security auditors .

We have over 150 workstations still on CO 6.7 while we are stuck dealing

Johnny, can you perhaps quantify the effort a bit ? And if you need
help what sort of help you might need for this ? I suspect a large
part of that is just going to be time in day.

I think Richard Lloyd had (has?) versions that work, but are usually a bit
old.  
At present, CentOS-7 works with the rpm for Fedora on Google's site. I
don't think RedHat had their own official rpm for either RHEL-6 or 7, did
(do) they?

I eventually updated to CentOS-7 on my main home machine, so I haven't kept

I wouldn't worry too much about this until it actually happens.  It
pretty much means that Google is not willing to support running Chrome
on CentOS, but then they never did to begin with anyways, it just so
happens that the statically-built RPM for Fedora runs on CentOS 7
without issue.  It's a scary and pretty much meaningless message.

Eventually Chrome will likely require some newer version of a library
than is available on CentOS 7, this happened in 6 a few years ago, and
when that happens hopefully someone can work on a solution to fix it
(possibly back-porting the newer version of said library).

Right, Johnny Hughes (I think) used to build it, but IIRC he had to stop
for reasons that you can find by searching this mailing list.

Note that I'm personally not interested in getting chrome to work for
CentOS 6, but I have a vested interest in keeping it working in 7, so
when the time comes I'll very likely find a solution myself and share it.

Unfortunately, I have neither the time, nor expertise to partake in such a
project.

Since Mr. Hughes had already gotten earlier versions of chromium to build
under CentOS 6 (c.f. http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/), and he
indicated it was merely a matter of getting RHEL to give permission for him
to redistribute it more "formally" to the community, I was hoping progress
had been made with that.

Have you, as the CentOS project lead ever asked RedHat if they can make
their version of Chromium for CentOS 6 available for us? If not, can you
please?

Since this seems to come up periodically, there is a demand for it out
there.

Bump.

Please answer the original question (again) CentOS folks.

Where are we with getting the RHEL version of Chromium available for CentOS?

There should be no technical reason why we can't get a working, up to date,
and therefore secure version of chromium running on CentOS 6.7!!

Correct, on a CentOS 6.7 x64-system, it just started popping up about a week
ago.

The Richard Lloyd-solution (are you The Richard Lloyd providing the
install-script for Chrome?) has been working fine so far for me, flawlessly
even.
I'm just not quite sure what will happen in march, with the provided
solution from http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/.

I'd really like an official solution trickling down from RHEL.
The script works fine, but it's, well rather ghetto. 8-)

This wasn't by any chance those that gave an error of some kind?

I believe Richard Lloyd linked to the below (non)solution.

You're just seeing this now on a 6.7 system? I don't believe that
google-chrome (as provided from the google repositories) has worked
(been installable) on Centos-6.x machines for 2 years or more. [I
just tried to install their current stable-48 on a 6.7 machine and
got the libstdc++.so.6 dependency issue that broke this some time
ago.]

With Centos-7 you'll see that warning banner if/when you update to
48. That release has been in beta since mid-december:
 

and was just pushed out from their "stable" channel late last week.

My message in mid-december didn't elicit any real solution, but
maybe that it's now hitting the stable release for Centos-7 there
might be more interest.

upstream provide a EL6 supplementary repository with chromium-browser. 
the emphasis lies on upstreams distribution. sources not available.

[CentOS] Google Chrome and CentOS 6?

2016-01-24 Thread Sorin Srbu 
Hi all,

Just recently I started getting the dreaded message about my CentOS 6.7 
x64-installation wasn't going to be supported anymore by Google Chrome.

"This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because this 
Linux system will no longer be supported."

Doing some google searches I found this;
http://superuser.com/questions/1011832/this-computer-will-soon-stop-receiving-google-chrome-updates-because-this-linux

Which in itself wasn't too uplifting...
Following the suggestion about installing Chromium instead worked, but it 
seems to be stuck at an ancient version of the browser.

Recompiling the available Chromium source is of course an option, but not for 
me.
Not unless there are step-by-step guides doing it.

There was a rather long and somewhat heated discussion regarding Chrome on 
CentOS a while ago.
Was there any real conclusion about Google Chrome on CentOS and how to get 
around this problem?
Are the views on this matter still infected?

I'm not looking forward to go back to the sluggish Firefox. 8-/
