OK, with these flags you generate the chromium-ffmpeg package and move it to Packman. But what about the chromium-ffmpegsumo? Isn't it generated from the Chromium's source? If yes, what build flag are you using?
Just to do you a favor, I build chromium-dev in your proposed way. This directly had as a consequence that the proprietary codecs are no longer supported, regardless if you build the ffmpeg package on packman with this flag activated.
Removed in revision 26 (I didn't test it), back in revision 28. build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/network:chromium/chromium-dev?linkrev=base&rev=26 build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/network:chromium/chromium-dev?linkrev=base&rev=28
As already indicated, if you don't want to have any proprietary codecs on your system, then I guess you better stick to Opera and/or FireFox. The only way that Chromium will change the build-flags is either based on the indication from a majority that this is what they want or the indication from the SuSE legal team that these codecs are indeed not allowed to be build on the openSUSE OBS.
Personally I don't have any problem with the proprietary formats support in Chromium (altough I don't like them). But I'm concerning because the things aren't working as expected, the browser should play these formats only when the chromium-ffmpeg from Packman is installed.
