Thanks boss, I'm just downloading a 'clean' 12.10 iso to run in VM so I can just check to see if update in Quantal is pulling in the newer Chromium, or it is the PPA. Latest from that dev PPA is chromium-browser_23.0.1271.1~svn20120922r157674-0ubuntu1 So, there is deffinatley a newer one available. Is this 'newer' one that has the ubuntu 'tag' on it that needs forwarding to be SRU'd?
As Far as I can check, the one in Lubuntu 12.10 is 22.0.1229.94~r161065-0ubuntu1 I don't know what the 'svn' and 'r' bits mean, I just go off the 1st part for version / sub-version number. Sorry to bother you, I'm trying to get my head around how this numbering sequence works and the meaning of the ubuntu1 tag on them. Regards, Phill.
