Mint team plans to supply its own Chromium package |
|
The latest version of Linux Mint ships without a package in its repositories for the Chromium web browser. This is because Mint's upstream distribution, Ubuntu has done away with a traditional Chromium package in favour of providing Chromium through a Snap package. The Linux Mint team is now planning to build and distribute their own Chromium package using a traditional Deb package. "We're happy to confirm we will be packaging Chromium going forward and providing updates through the official repositories. We noticed significant delays between official releases and the versions available in almost all Linux distributions. For this reason we set up our own packaging and we're building directly from upstream. Some of the patches from Debian and Ubuntu were also imported." Further details on this change, along with information on a bug that hit Linux Mint 19 last month can be found in the distribution's newsletter. |
