It has indeed, please see: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … en-kernel/
apt isn't picking up on the new packages, might be the timezone differences or something.. I'm gonna see if clearing the release or contents.bz2 stuff in /var/cache or something will clear it up. Any recommends to make it take it?
^ strange, please keep us informed.
think we may have begun to triag it dude. luckily mom and my little bro are running i686 statler stable so I did updates on their's and apt-cache search chrome.. it came up fine. my main system that isn't seeing the repo updates is amd64. After reading http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debia … thenticity some and browsing different files as well as renaming some /var/cache stuff to ~ and updating. It seems it might be something in the amd64 release files. Hopefully that helps some.
^ thanks for the extra info, I will look into it.
figured it out man, was just a problem with my sources.list.. I had added a deb-src line for the #! amd64 repo, thinking it would just be there for when it's relevant. Little did I know that would bork the binary repo entry. I always thought those 2 were separate :$ Guess we learn something new every day.
^ good stuff, thanks for reporting back.
Google Chrome Stable should now be available directly from the CrunchBang Statler repositories. It can be installed with the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stableGoogle Chrome will replace Iceweasel as the default browser in the next Statler release.
I love and use chrome, so I am very happy to se it move in to the #! repo. But I am also a bit conflicted about it becomming the default. In my experience chrome is much heaviere on ram then e.g. firefox. I guess this is the tradeoff that comes with having each tab run its own process. On my two old machines (512 and 378 mb ram) I therefore use firefox.
Since #! has a deservedly reputation for being light and fast, I fear some users will experience their old machines bork on chrome. Wich would be ashame. Maybe midori is mature enough to be a lightweight webkit browser?
Anyways - thanks for all the new exiting #! things i 2011 :-D

^ On my machine Chrome feels lighter than Iceweasel.
ADD: Am gonna install it now!

^ Yeah - I guess its mostly a problem if you like I can't help but having 10 open tabs :-D Not a good idea on an old machine - in any browser.
Does "aptitude hold google-chrome-stable" prevent apt-get dist-upgrade from installing chrome when it is in the statler-repository? I prefer opera 11 btw.
