The problem is that openSUSE only ships random alpha-quality git snapshots of Chromium. They are completely untested and come with bugs over and over again. In the past I already requested that openSUSE should do as every other distribution does and ship the Chromuim version corresponding to the latest Google Chrome release but the package maintainer refuses to and the other people with responsibility within openSUSE let him push random alpha builds as "stable" updates down the users' throat. Basically what he said was: If one expects stability, install Google Chrome.
If you want to see that change, make a request on opensuse-factory. Maybe if other people complain as well, he will get off his high horse.
No need for polemic statements and melodrama, what you state is not actually what happened. The current maintainer asked the list and from the people that expressed an interest in the matter, the majority wanted to keep having newer builds.
As a matter of fact, I have nothing against having newer builds as long as they work as expected. Just found an update from Chromium but that did not change anything at all. No images and no thumbnails in the New Tab . A new problem with the latest build is that it is using about 60% of my CPU for over an half hour now. Will kill it and use Konquerer until Chromium starts working as expected. -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 0 (i586) Kernel: 3.5.0-1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.8.5 (4.8.5)) 11:51am up 0:25, 3 users, load average: 2.34, 2.69, 2.57 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
