From: Steve Fishpaste on 21 May 2010 11:30 Good morning folks. Why is the Chromium-browser in Sid so old? Chromium has been on the 6.x branch for a couple of weeks now and Debian is still using the 5.x branch. In my opinion we should keep up with the new releases at least weekly. Is this on the agenda to do? Cheers, Steve Toronto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I was not aware that software released a couple weeks ago was "really old". I run IW 3.0.6 in Lenny. It is much more than a couple weeks old but does just fine and providing needed functionality. There is a Ubutnu PPA that does weekly builds of chromium. I have not tried it personally but am told that those .debs work fine on sid. You might give that a try if you really would like to stay on the bleeding-edge. -- Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Contact the maintainer(s). If not, you'll just have to wait for the other volunteers to get around to it. IIRC, the policy is actually to open a wishlist bug about 2 weeks after the upstream release. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ |
