[opensuse-factory] Chromium browser has returned to it's openSUSE uhome location
Dear openSUSE Users, Last week, I send out the message that it was no longer possible to build Chromium on the openSUSE OBS. This due to issues with ffmpeg, etc. Due to the big help of Ludwig Nussel, we resolved the issues and I can now inform you that we are building Chromium again in it's old location and that we will continue shipping Chromium with openSUSE. A new subpackage was introduced (chromium-ffmpegsumo) that builds a restricted form of the multimedia library required by Chromium. This library supports all the opensource codecs. On Packman we continue to build the chromium-ffmpeg package that contains the same multimedia library, but then with support for more proprietary codecs (equal to the ones supported by the official Chrome browser). If you install the chromium-ffmpeg package, then automatically the new chromium-ffmpegsumo package will be deinstalled. This is the correct behavior. I would like to thank Ludwig again for his help in resolving this matter. As a reminder: The Chromium browser is build in the network:chromium repository and from there updates to Factory and maintenance updates for 12.2/12.1 are shipped. I would like to apologize for the inconvienence this might cause due to swapping the repositories.

Dear openSUSE Users,
Last week, I send out the message that it was no longer possible to build Chromium on the openSUSE OBS. This due to issues with ffmpeg, etc.
Due to the big help of Ludwig Nussel, we resolved the issues and I can now inform you that we are building Chromium again in it's old location and that we will continue shipping Chromium with openSUSE.
A new subpackage was introduced (chromium-ffmpegsumo) that builds a restricted form of the multimedia library required by Chromium. This library supports all the opensource codecs. On Packman we continue to build the chromium-ffmpeg package that contains the same multimedia library, but then with support for more proprietary codecs (equal to the ones supported by the official Chrome browser). If you install the chromium-ffmpeg package, then automatically the new chromium-ffmpegsumo package will be deinstalled. This is the correct behavior.)
Hi, I had one doubt. We have to manually install this -ffmpeg package from Packman?. Eg: Joe User installs 12.3 and chromium package. Then he adds Packman repo and do an update (or zypper dup). This -ffmpegsumo package is substituted automatically or not? Regards and thanks for you job bringing this package to openSUSE.

Yes.

No, the package has to be installed manually. However even without the chromium-ffmpeg package you will have a fully functional Chromium webbrowser. So in most cases this would be enough for Joe User. And this was also the case before. So most likely most users have already this packman package installed. The packman package only bring in the codecs that are also supported by Chrome. (e.g. H.264 support) Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
