As long as the package is not meant to migrate to testing anyway, this is not a big problem. ;-) Note that the question whether Chromium should be shipped with Squeeze is still undecided.� Sven � http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=581265 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Because older versions are still valuable to the vast majority of users. Keeping up with upstream is *one* of the many responsibilities of a Debian Maintainer. > People want a recent release in a web browser, especially in > Sid! The are a *vast* number of things that go into a Debian release that have nothing to do with upstream's schedule. Sid is a staging ground for packages meant for release, not just upstream's tarball compiled and thrown into a deb. (Although, that may very well be what you are getting out of a PPA or OBS.) Web browsers don't need updating any more often that any other piece of software. I'm using IceWeasel from backports and Konqueror from testing, and they serve their purpose quite well. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

There seem to be three versions of the browser available: 1. google-chrome-unstable, currently at 6.0.401.1-r47049, from google. 2. chromium-browser, currently at 5.0.375.38~r46659-1, which used to be available from unstable, but which I have heard is now in sid. 3. google-chrome-beta, currently at 5.0.375.53, also from google. I am running each on a different laptop, and find it taxing to try to keep up on differences among them. But if you have a specific question, I'll try to figure out the answer. -- JohnRChamplin(a)columbus.rr.com ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/99421A63 2005-01-05 EE51 79E9 F244 D734 A012 1CEC 7813 9FE9 9942 1A63 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 99421A63

In any case, a few weeks is not old. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
