Hi, Would it be possible to set up a service to generate the "small" tarballs mentioned on LinuxPackaging wiki page every time a release is tagged? The current hoops you have to go through to package Chromium for Linux causes a lot of duplicated work, so I imaging simply providing a ready-to-build tarball would speed up its way into many of the smaller distributions.
Currently I just use whatever Gentoo provides (e.g. http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/chromium-4.0.251.0.tar.bz2) which is unfortunately not always the latest release. Providing an official source would probably also make consistent testing across distributions easier instead of every distro is running its own arbitrary revision of trunk. Anyway, it shouldn't be much work to set up with Subversion post- commits. I'd gladly supply a patch but it would probably be better if someone knowing the internal server infrastructure did it. Alternatively it could be done manually; it's not like a new release is tagged every hour. Thanks for improving the Web. Cannot believe how fast this thing is on a quad-core with an SSD hooked up to a 40/40 mbps connection :-) -- Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss
