Re: chromium no longer maintained
Jordon, You have wrong. Chromium is and ever was the core of the web browser from Google. And it is open source (there was no before, no after, no fork - it is the core). Google Chrome is that core, plus a certain amout of code which is not open-source and so, you don't have access to the source code of Google Chrome itself (which is a packages chromium + other codes). Nevetheless it was not the point: Daniel said that the package chromium-browser is outdated. It has been verified. That's it.

Re: chromium no longer maintained
Hi, Jordan, aacually what you describe is not a fork. In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct piece of software. The term often implies not merely a development branch, but a split in the developer community, a form of schism.[1] The base of Chrome is Chromium Chrome = Chromium + other proprietary extensions. Linux Mint is no fork of Ubuntu. It is based on it.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the most correct view. And for the purpose of this discussion, they are practically the same. The issue here is that version 18 is considered outdated and insecure. The version of chromium that we should have right now is 21, whether it be in the form of chromium-browser or google-chrome. It would be nice if someone could step up and maintain the chromium-browser version of chromium, but for whatever reason, that isn't happening. Shouldn't the ppas at least be updated to state that the version held is out of date? Shouldn't version 18 be removed from the archive?

There has long been talk of switching to Chromium by default in Ubuntu new installs. For a while wasn't it the default browser in Xubuntu? Look if it gets Google to give Canonical more money (i.e. from product placement, like with the Firefox package's search bar functionality embedding Canonical's adsense ID into Google searches) I say Chromium should be maintained so the portion of the userbase who uses it doesn't go using a downloaded/hand-compiled package and not generating any revenue.
