Please note that Google-Chrome is NOT Chromium-Browser.

The chromium version in Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (aka "active development", like Debian Sid) is 5.0.375.38~r46659. The .5 series is the version you called 'old'. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser The .6 version you say Debian is behind on is in Ubuntu's "unsupported and untrusted Personal Archives (PPAs)". Are you really saying that Debian is behind in not releasing a package based on that version? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Steve, Steve Fishpaste wrote: > In my opinion we should keep up with the new releases at least weekly. > Is this on the agenda to do? No, I do not think it is in the plans any time soon: - sid is used to stage versions that could potentially be used in some stable release. I can't see a more risky branch than the beta channel being used for this. - experimental is used to test iffy packaging changes before releasing them to sid. To test the tip of trunk this way would rule out more short-lived packaging experiments, which may be needed now while the packaging is changing rapidly. However, testing and developing from the tip of the development tree can be useful for many reasons. You have a couple of options. 1. Build from source. This is in my opinion your best choice, since if you run into problems this would make it very easy to test out patches. The packaging used for sid can also be used to build from the dev channel or other versions for that matter. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask. 2. Use Fabien Tassin's nightly builds ppa[1] from Ubuntu. This is not the tip of the development tree but it is close. Note that almost everything I said above goes for any other project whose packaging is changing rapidly, too. There is nothing wrong with regularly building from source a few packages you follow closely, imho.
