Support for RPM distributions?

Open braewoods opened this issue 4 years ago • 14 comments

There's a number of RPM based distributions that otherwise have little in common. Examples:

Mageia (Mandrake/Mandriva family) Fedora/CentOS (RedHat family) OpenSuse

Is anyone interested in developing packaging scripts for these targets and possibly others that use RPM? OBS happens to support many of these as well so I was thinking it may be worthwhile to expand to these if there's any interested parties.

RPM Fusion has chromium-browser-privacy, which pulls its patches from this github repo https://admin.rpmfusion.org/pkgdb/package/free/chromium-browser-privacy/ https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/free/chromium-browser-privacy.git/

I think it was solved in #838?

If chromium-browser-privacy is just ungoogled-chromium but with a different name, then I'm willing to close this.

@qvint Any comments?

Since chromium-browser-privacy hasn't been updated for three months and is still on v85 I created my own version based on Fedora's chromium. Not sure whether I should make it official though because for now I don't have intention to put it on RPM Fusion.

@Eloston :pray: Please do something regarding this issue.

Archived, so Fedora support is dead

there is just nobody maintaining it at the moment, wchen342 stepped down from that role

But Fedora is very popular they should maintain it, I am currently using flatpak but I hope Eloston will bring back support for fedora.

username0136 avatar May 24 '22 07:05 username0136

Who is they? If there is nobody that is using Fedora and or can maintain a package there's nothing that can be done

networkException avatar May 24 '22 07:05 networkException

sadly yeah, I believe only those with skin in the game should maintain ungoogled-chromium for their respective distributions, in this case fedora. If you use fedora, why don't you try to maintain a package for it? Nobody is born with the knowledge to main a binary package. Just read the docs and give it a go.

@jstkdng Yeah I will try to but the problem is I don't have enough resources I don't have 100GB free space and I don't have 16GB Ram, so that's the barrier for me and if I would have enough resources then also it would be hard for me to build it.

username0136 avatar May 25 '22 11:05 username0136

I'm building in a kvm-guest with 20+GiB, but never seen RAM usage above 8GiB while building Chromium in 9 threads. Chromium + Electron — probably :)

@git-Hmmm you can use the openSUSE Build Service (OBS), it's a public building system and it supports fedora and opensuse build scripts. Check it out. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial

This is an old issue, that didn't show much activity recently — closing. If you have any more information to add, let us know.
