Mint packages Chromium browser |
|
The Linux Mint team has published their monthly newsletter for October. In it the team talks about new features, such as the ability to mark specific files as "favourites" to make them easier to find. The newsletter also reports that both Linux Mint and Linux Mint Debian Edition will now have up to date Chromium packages. "The Chromium browser is now available in the official repositories for both Linux Mint and LMDE. If you've been waiting for this I'd like to thank you for your patience. To guarantee reactivity and timely updates we had to automate the process of detecting, packaging and compiling new versions of Chromium. This is an application which can require more than 6 hours per build on a fast computer. We allocated a new build server with high specifications (Ryzen 9 3900, 128GB RAM, NMVe) and reduced the time it took to build Chromium to a little more than an hour. Although Chromium was present in Debian we noticed it was rarely up to date so the decision was taken to also build for LMDE." More information on what the Mint developers have been up to this past month can be found in their October newsletter. |
