Topic: update Chromium package

v10 went stable some days ago. In fact you could probably grab the package from the Unstable repo.

Thanks for the heads up. Are you running it at all or just sharing the news?

Re: update Chromium package

Already, have the Chromium repros added to my #! 'testing' sources.list . . . and I have Chromium 10.

Re: update Chromium package

@ anonymous

Yes, I've gathered that you don't use #!  Arch is one distro that I have been looking forward to trying for a good while now. I'm going to hold off as Debian is not done with me yet. Much to learn.

Back on topic, I was using Chrome 10 unstable, a few #! installs ago roll, with no complaints. However, I'm trying to stay within the debian repositories, with Opera being an exception. Chromium is an awsome browser. I just can't use it for downloads larger than 50 MiB, and it often fails sooner than that.

Once agaiin, thanks for the heads up. I'm upgrading tonight.

No, I don't have the Google-Chrome-browser installed . . . I use Chromium 10 or Firefox-4.0

I consulted the Giant Debian Repro List  >  http://sites.google.com/site/mydebiansourceslist/

There are repros for both, Google-Chrome and Chromium

Well you can get Chromium 10 from the unstable repo.

I'm going to have to hold off on that. My one and only machine has now been commited to a debian core install in order to expand my knowledge and know how. #! is fired up from a USB stick. Quite a deep dive but I'm ready.

Most useful link I've seen in some time. Thanks. Now if we could just get you to stop saying "Repro" instead of Repo. tongue

Forgive me vrkalak, I've never been a spelling Nazi before but it's just bugs me, like hearing people say "nuculer" instead of nuclear.

Re: update Chromium package

Why don't you use Google Chrome in this case?

Re: update Chromium package

I upgraded chromium-browser to 12 when it was still unstable and found it to be exactly that. Hopefully version 13 is better.

Re: update Chromium package

Sorry for asking a stupid question, but how do I upgrade to the latest chromium?

I am confused because:

apt-cache show chromium-browser

gives me:

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 14.0.835.163~r101024-1

But about:version
tells me that chromium is only version 9.

sudo apt-get -t sid install chromium-browser

tells me that chromium is already at newest version (but 9 is not 14...)

apt-cache policy chromium-browser

Re: update Chromium package

Thanks xaos52 - but the policy more or less tells me what I already knew: That chromium is old and that there are newer versions.

chromium-browser:
  Installed: 9.0.597.45~r70550-1
  Candidate: 9.0.597.45~r70550-1
  Version table:
     14.0.835.163~r101024-1 0
        -10 http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages
     13.0.782.220~r99552-1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages
 *** 9.0.597.45~r70550-1 0
        990 http://packages.crunchbanglinux.org/statler/ statler/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This is my apt preferences file:

Package: *
Pin: release a=statler
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: *
Pin: release a=squeeze
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release n=sid
Pin-Priority: -10

Now I guess I could add something lik

Package: chromium-browser
Pin: release n=sid
Pin-Priority: 1002

But in the past I have always been able to install from a specifc repo tith the -t flag? like

sudo apt-get -t sid install chromium-browser

EDIT:
Just Read The Fabolous Manpage about the target flag (-t):

This option controls the default input to the policy engine, it
           creates a default pin at priority 990 using the specified release
           string. This overrides the general settings in
           /etc/apt/preferences. Specifically pinned packages are not affected
           by the value of this option. In short, this option lets you have
           simple control over which distribution packages will be retrieved
           from.

So I guess the problem might be that statler has a pin > 990... I'll just change that real quick and get back.

Cheers.

EDIT 2:
It seems to work. Downloading right now :-) Thanks for the hint :-D

Re: update Chromium package

How do I download and install the latest Chromium if I'm on Stable? I don't want Google Chrome...

I guess I don't? Stable = Chromium 6; Testing = Chromium 15 sad

Re: update Chromium package

Sorry but the easiest way would be Chrome on Stable. Otherwise you would have to fiddle with some obscure repos.
