| Chromium package in Contrib |  (no votes yet)  Loading ... |
Thanks to unceasing endeavors of David Buck and Raymond Wooninck we now have Chromium built fully from the source code! It is available from our Contrib repository (package chromium). I recommend using this one instead of various other RPMs that repack Google Chrome/Chromium binaries or are kept in users home repositories. Big thanks also goes to Tom ‘spot’ Callaway for much of the original patchwork, Justin Haygood for helping with the icu patch and Malcolm Lewis.
I switched to the Factory:Contrib package (chromium-4.0.222.6-5.1) but I have the same problem as before:-

Are you using the correct package for your distribution? You can’t mix 11.1 and Factory packages. We can meet on IRC to solve your problem interactively (prusnak on freenode).
What about freetype question?
Take a look at this: http://rambleon.usebox.net/post/213149443/chromium-freetype-freeworld-profit-last-week
Question: I am still on openSUSE 11.0, will these packages work on 11.0, or do I need to upgrade?
Hi,
Please consider changing the package name. There is a game by the same name ‘chromium’
Thanks for considering this.
@Livio
This has nothing to do with Chromium. It is purely a freetype question.
@Sebastian Hilbert
The game was renamed to chromium-bsu in upstream meanwhile. I do not recommend using the older one, the new has lots of important fixes. (It is available in games repository).

These packages were not tested in 11.0, David provided a build for 11.0 in his home:dbuck project, but I’m not sure if he’s willing to support this release. You should probably ask him. (Btw, it is a very nice opportunity to upgrade, today we released openSUSE 11.2 RC1
@Pavol Rusnak
Hi,
I plan on semi-supporting chromium for 11.0 (and 11.1 if it is dropped from Contrib). For 11.0 the name is ‘chromium-browser’ because of the aforementioned conflict with a game. In 11.1 it is just ‘chromium’. I won’t be able to update my project too often – I am planning on moving to 11.2 (hooray!)
