You can read both spec files. These are open projects. The Fedora spec is heavily commented, with explanations of what all the patches etc. are for. Fedora spec: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/chromium/blob/rawhide/f/chromium.spec RPMFusion spec: https://github.com/rpmfusion/chromium-freeworld/blob/master/chromium-freeworld.spec As you can see, the Fedora spec is doing more work to fit in with the letter and spirit of Fedora guidelines, especially around stopping Chromium bundling and doing weird things to libraries. The RPMFusion spec does some, but not as much. If Chromium didn't do so much messy stuff with libraries and proprietary blobs that the package has to work around, I imagine maintaining it would be much easier. I sure wouldn't want the job. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
