Its a zip file so no building required.įor this specific one, this would be considered as chromium-bin-9999 Additionally, that public copy will need to exclude any components that are not freely redistributable.

Someone will need to build it, post it for public download, and make available an ebuild to download that public copy. Your home directory should be noexec, in which case it cannot be run from there. maolang wrote:Įxtracting to the home folder is always wrong, and should not even work if your system is configured correctly.
Post a link to it and someone here can probably write a simple ebuild for it. This should be pretty easy, if upstream has already built it and provided an acceptable download. Support at best for those persistent hard to find issues are ignored.Ĭould you link to the bug reports that were ignored? maolang wrote: Where is this prebuilt Chromium available? I recall seeing a prior thread about this, where it was concluded that upstream was releasing so often that it was infeasible for the Gentoo maintainers to provide -bin packages. maolang wrote:īut it seems the chromium project runners simply refuse or are unwilling to make an ebuild for something that exists and is available Posted: Fri 1:58 am Post subject: Re: Chromium - no binaries alternative, as firefox, libreoffĪre the issues with the Gentoo ebuild or with the upstream code? Some Gentoo maintainers are not able to support the upstream code, so if this is a generic problem with Chromium, contacting the ebuild maintainer may not help you. Which strips stuff and is not directly unmodified from google

The way it is said to be, is that chromium is the open source code of Google Chrome (excluding the non-open source items, like flash). "You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think" ~ Dorothy Parkerįrom my understanding, google-chrome is the binary copy of chromium. Have you looked into the overlays? One might have a chromium-bin. The main question i am curious about, is how many users if they had an official choice, not one forced on us, to be able to NOT have to build chromium and waste so much time on something that is obviously not working 100% in its current state How hard would it be to make an official ebuild to have for an already available built and compiled, functional chromium package from google for the users who are simply fed up of persistently wasting time trying to build itĮspecially that downloading manually, installing chromium binary from google and temp extracting it to your home folder and functional in less than 20 seconds. Just like libreoffice and firefox, bot have a binary alternative available, but it seems the chromium project runners simply refuse or are unwilling to make an ebuild for something that exists and is availableĪs it is building chromium is one of the longest package to build, is problematic to build and support at best for those persistent hard to find issues are ignored. I have had issues with emerging and building chromium in its current state for the longest while, i have raised my issue numerous times with the ebuild maintainer himselfĪnd i am constantly hitting a wall when talking to him, what will it take for a chromium binary alternative to be available for us users who are having trouble with building this package Posted: Thu 10:28 pm Post subject: Chromium - no binaries alternative, as firefox, libreoffice Gentoo Forums Forum Index Portage & Programming I am not saying you shouldn't give Ungoogled Chromium a go, I am simply recommending you different solutions should Ungoogled Chromium not work out for you.Gentoo Forums :: View topic - Chromium - no binaries alternative, as firefox, libreofficeĬhromium - no binaries alternative, as firefox, libreoffice So long as you are okay with that risk, you can also use the Tor browser. While they can't guarantee support for all add-ons, they will probably be able to run what you want.Īs far as Tor, they don't recommend you add or remove any add-ons as the browser is specifically configured for anonymity and other add-ons can potentially ruin that. From my experience, Waterfox and Pale Moon has worked with any add-on I throw at it, and I hear its the same for GNU IceCat. A few good ones are Waterfox, Pale Moon, Tor Browser Bundle, GNU IceCat, and Brave.īrave is the easiest to use however they have limited add-on support which seems important in your case.
I would recommend you use a Firefox alternative. You have issues with Mozilla and Firefox right? Well so do I. I will however provide a different solution. I can't speak for Ungoogled Chromium as I never used it.
