Correct that we do not have any patches from ourselves, however in the past we needed to build it ourselves in order to prevent strange dependencies on non- existing packages or packageversions.
Also we have changed the build process to take into account system libraries
that are normally already installed on the system (e.g. zlib, jpeg, etc ) This way Chromium would be better integrated.
ah okay. But do you think it will be better if we just work with the chrome engineers who are responsible for openSUSE builds ? Since they already make seperate packages for openSUSE (instead of a generic linux rpm) they may be interested in optimizing things. Thanks for your explanation.
