[opensuse-factory] Chromium - looking for maintainer
Heya all, with the growing demands of chromium and my diminishing free time I won't be really able to care for chromium in the future. Any interested volunteers to take over its maintenance? You need to be able to patch out gcc compilation issues and patch out support for Leap as we have too old libs in some cases there. In general most of the work can be cherry-picked from Fedora/Gentoo with only minor tweaks on our side. Most complex and breaking part is the vaapi hardware acceleration. Which is currently borked as I don't have time to debug it further :( If you are interested please request maintainership on the network:chromium project and feel free to drop me an email if you happen to have any questions.

Really no volunteers around to take on chromium maintenance? Let me be the one to paint the dark picture if nobody steps up: chromium will age like butter - really smelly and bad. Considering the attack surface of any given web browser, if issues against them are no longer being fixed, ther eis unfortunately no other option left than to remove it from the distribution. I'm sure as a collective we do not want chromium to disappear from openSUSE, which in turn means we need to come together to find an appropriate solution. Volunteers, this is your moment! Cheers, Dominique
