Johnny,

Any ETA on version 39.0.2171.95

cheers



bump

If I could build it, I would.  At the present time, i can not build it
as the source is not on ftp.redhat.com or git.centos.org.

Red Hat does not have permission for it to be built anywhere besides
their supplemental channel for RHEL6, and I have asked Red Hat legal and
they are trying to get permission from Google to release it in CentOS.

I am sorry, but I can't build and release it at this time.  I may not be
able to do so, even though I really, really do want to release it.



Thanks for the update Johnny. So was version 38 just a one time special
permission thing?

http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/x86_64/RPMS/

I very much got yelled at for that.



wait,... I thought Chromium was "open source"... you need a license
to distribute it? (note that I haven't researched which license it
uses...)


Red Hat has permission to distribute, to paying customers, pieces of it
that are not open source.  I need to get permission to strip parts of
that out and distribute the rest.

I have asked for permission and am waiting on the answers of:

1. Can do that (take out some pieces and distribute)

2. If I can do that, are the pieces I took out good enough or do I need
to make more changes.

I want to make this happen and I am trying to do so.  However, I have no
idea what the outcome will be.

One thing is for sure, people are watching me very closely on this ..
therefore I must do it exactly the way they want me to.



Johnny,

Recently on ftp.redhat.com a src rpm for chromium-browser appeared. It has since disappeared. It was located in 6Workstation, 6Client and 6Server.

Does this have anything to do with your request for a chromium-browser src.rpm ?
