Micah, why, oh, why are people running around re-inventing the wheel? av has already stated that he would love to work with 'ubuntu' to have the updates done? Meanwhile, the people who matter ... aka Chromium users, do not have 1) Any official default updates arriving. 2) The 'official' ppa is non functional 3) The test area has only just been made aware of, via a bug report instead of an announcement. 4) There is already, and has been for some time, a fully functioning PPA. you stated that that it would be possible to use av's scripts... Well, his scripts are still updating Chromium while 'official' has gone from a 7 day time scale into well over a month. (Sorry about this being a 'comment', but the total breakdown of the system for updates is giving ubuntu a bad name).

That were most probably security vulnerabilities that where fixed between these 2 versions, which Ubuntu chromium-browser users are still vulnerable to. The Quantal package is at version 22: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/chromium-browser I see that the firefox package keeps the same version betweeen Precise and Quantal, since running an outdated browser version has security implications. The same logic should be applied to chromium-browser. Futhermore; there is a (formerly) "official" PPA at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa that used to maintain the latest version of each channel. This PPA is no longer maintained and according to the Chromium team's support IRC channel, it won't be maintained in the near future. I believe it is best to delete this PPA, to avoid users thinking that their browsers are up-to-date when they are not.
