 Is the Chrome version of libv8 forked from the version of v8 in the

no, but libv8 is getting bumped too quickly to use the system lib.

Bug#520324: ITP: chromium-browser -- A web browser developed by Google based on the WebKit engine

2010-04-23 Thread Gürkan Sengün

Hello

Thanks for adding gyp into sid so far.

 Many Debian users prefers to use Google Chrome repository.

I'm not sure many Debian users prefer to use non-debian repositories. For
me and our users it's definitely not the case, we prefer to use
Debian repositories exclusively, and our own where we add other packages
that are not available in Debian ourselves. Simply because we rely and need
Debian security updates in some managed (monitored with hobbit, and manually
checked if all went fine) for our well over a hundred workstations.

Having this in Debian, and stable would be a big benefit for any administrator
that runs Debian for more than his own workstation.

Even if a security fix is not easily to be done, it's easier to just remove a
package than adding one and watching the extra repository work as it should,
temporarily (until a proper fix can be done).

Yours,
Gurkan

 I guess nothing prevent to upload a package to experimental now.

OK, I will make this happen over weekend. Will add Guiseppe as an Uploader ...

I agree, that we want chromium in archive ... having external solutions only is
not in the spirit of debian imo.

 Just for the record, I don't want to stand in anyones way; however, the 
 package
 is as ready as it can be; the problem is really on upstream release process.

Note: I don't want to take over this ITP.

As a user, I'm expecting to be able to install chromium on my favorite
distribution.
I don't understand why we don't have this package available on
experimental or unstable (hint: you can block migration by opening an
RC bug).

The upstream release process and how you want to deal with it is a
completely different point. If you think the current state prevent to
ship chromium with squeeze, it's fine.

Fathi

Hi Giuseppe, many thanks for your offer, personally I'd like you to go
ahead with your packaging work on chromium-browser to at least have the
*possibility* of getting the package in squeeze. That means having it in
unstable first, then we'll use the usual rules for transition to testing
of all other packages.

  I requested an alioth group, feel free to join it when it will be
  accepted.
 The problem is that chromium browser cannot be maintained in a debian
 stable relase as it is. If you think different talk to me on IRC.

It's a bit of a pity that this argument of yours was not in the bug log
of the ITPs of chromium, or else I've missed it blatantly (in that case
I apologize in advance). The only counter argument I've found thus far
to upload was a licensing problem, which seems to be solved now.

Regarding security issues, I duly notice that Giuseppe is a full member
of the Debian security team, so I believe we should trust his judgement
on that.

All in all, it would be an incredible pity not to have chromium-browser
in Debian and probably a good argument for a lot of desktop users to use
another Debian-based distribution (say, Ubuntu). I don't think we should
block the packaging of chromium lightly; if there are clear reasons to
do so they should be clearly stated, and well communicated.

No matter what, we've clear processes for this kind of issues and I
think we should use them rather then simply not uploading the package
and stopping other developers motivated in doing that, by fiddling with
the owner of this ITP.

If you ask me, I'd like Giuseppe to take back ownership of this bug
report and go ahead with the packaging work.

Cheers.

 Dude,
 
 The problem is that chromium browser cannot be maintained in a debian
 stable relase as it is. If you think different talk to me on IRC.
 
 Let's wait how bad it blows up once ubuntu lucid enters stable release mode.
 

Just for the record, I don't want to stand in anyones way; however, the package
is as ready as it can be; the problem is really on upstream release process.

It's completely unclear when to release and what to release and that is what
we are trying out in ubuntu lucid. Most likely we will get out of this that
we need to work with upstream on something better.

One example: If you look at the release channels, you will notice that
there are two releases a week in average or something. Not real releases,tags
or anything like that. The problem here is that chromium uses a continuous 
rollout
and backout approach, which is fine on its own, but when it comes to reflecting
this in a distro you easily become trapped to either keep up with their update
frequency through the security channel :-P (e.g. going through security twice
a week ;)) ... or somehow figuring how to bake stable releases from a continuous
head in a way that you can release regression free security updates as those
are announced.

I am not saying there is no way to do that, just that its tough and we have to
learn a lot before we can consider putting chromium in a stable release for
debian.

 Thanks. It seems Ubuntu package doesn't build as is.
 gyp doesn't exist in Debian.
 timeout is provided by coreutils package.

right ... gyp needs to get in too!! FTA probably could help getting that in.

Is there a specific reason why you (Chromium team) uploaded
chromium-browser in Ubuntu two months ago and not yet in Debian?

Cheers,

i.e. gyp

Just pull and build the ubuntu package.

Bug#520324: ITP: chromium-browser -- A web browser developed by Google based on the WebKit engine

2009-09-17 Thread Antonio Radici
Hi Alexander,
I've already packaged libv8-0 (latest 1.3.11 from upstream committed
some days ago to trunk), the package is building fine, lintian clean and
it is waiting for a sponsor (ITP 497701).
Most of the packaging comes from ubuntu but I had to adapt it for Debian; 
it is in collab-maint so if you want to partecipate it would be great.

Chromium (chromium-browser) needs libv8-0 to work so if we can have a
single team to manage this it could be great; if we could have people
from ubuntu and Debian to commit to a single repository it would be even
better.

What do you think?

Cheers
Antonio
