Re: chromium-browser based on GTK

You should build it from source. This makes it available for other arches and reduces problem due to different libs on ubuntu.

Re: chromium-browser based on GTK

Strange that a browser needs p7zip to run. I saw your PKGBUILD and it looks like you are using it only to extract. If the actual browser doesn't need p7zip to run, you can put p7zip in a makedepends array instead of the depends array.

Also, I agree with Pierre that you should build from source.

I'm not very familiar with PKGBUILD, but i'll change it asap

Re: chromium-browser based on GTK

Also, Debian packages can be extracted using the 'ar' utility, which is part of binutils, a base (base-devel) package. So, kill the p7zip dependency, and use 'ar x' to extract smile Though I see another commenter might have a better idea than extracting Debian's package.

And one other thing, you're using pkgrel incorrectly - pkgrel should start at 1, and if you change the PKGBUILD or any other build file without a new actual package version, you increment pkgrel. If there's a new version, you change pkgver to the new package version and reset pkgrel to 1. Read the wiki for more info.

Thanks for the package!
