So currently 15 is stable, 16 is beta, 17 is alpha. > Markus, do you have some trick how to decide which version is "stable" enough > for Factory? That would help greatly. Well, after looking at Arch's PKGBUILD [1] it's actually very easy. The tarball of the latest Chromium has exactly the same version number as Google Chrome. The latest stable version can either be automatically found out by parsing the XML file http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official and then looking for the newest "LastModified" of major-2 (probably not worth the effort writing a parser) or by simply grabbing the newest version number from http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Stable%20updates and manually modifying the specfile every few weeks. In specfile syntax the tarball can be acquired via http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-%{version}.tar.bz2 So as of today, the specfile would specify "Version: 15.0.874.121" And the latest stable version is http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-15.0.874.121.tar.bz2 [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/chromium -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
