chromium-snapshot* missing...

Hey guys,

I've been using chromium-snapshot-64 on both my desktop and laptop ... today I used yaourt -Syu --aur and lo and behold, it's been taken off AUR. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't because it was doing something malicious... also, what do you guys recommend to replace it with?

Thanks.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Alright, well thanks wonder. I'm using chromium-browser-bin now, and it seems to work, so I'll probably just use this from now on. I do agree that there was certainly too many chromium builds on the AUR, it was a pain. At least the ones that are left don't require you to install the 32bit libraries and such... that was the biggest deterrent to using some of those other builds.

Re: chromium-snapshot* missing...

chromium-browser-bin is actually the snapshot as well. If you look at the download source as you update with yaourt you can see it is coming from http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snap … rel-linux/ and it references to the LATEST build.
