Can you build firefox/librewolf with gcc? Afaik, you can only build it with clang/llvm. Librewolf if the only reason I have clang and llvm on my system. joi, 8 iun. 2023, 10:31 Joonas Niilola a scris: > Luckily few years ago > Mozilla invested in a pretty efficient CI system where they now test

I don't use chromium and I don't know what release cycle it has, but can't those interested in running chromium use an ebuild that tracks the git tree and updates after every change. The maintenance burden would be minimal, and any patches could be applied with /etc/portage/patches. If something

Re: [gentoo-dev] www-client/chromium needs a new maintainer

I think Google does all this intentionally to piss off people trying to use the "free-er" version of Chrome... let's face it, "their" aim is to create a one-fits-all spyware named Google Chrome. Google does not want you to touch their mess. Google does not want you to even think about going a

I'm in the process of getting Gentoo dev status. I'm willing to consider maintaining www-client/chromium. I have a high core count rack server that should be able to handle the build process quite well. Can you give me a list of common pain points? If that is a long conversation feel free to email
