Hi all,
Hi!
I do not have enough free time to be able to keep up with security updates to chromium in jessie (oldstable) any more. It is technically feasible to keep it working in a jessie environment, but each update has been more and more work. I expect that to continue.
What kind of work, approximately, does it require?
Anyway, if anyone would like to take this on (perhaps the LTS team?) please do so. You would need to either be a DD or have a regular sponsor for it to be practical. If that doesn't happen within about a month, I'll announce that security support for chromium in jessie has been discontinued.
This seems reasonable, if no-one will step up. Google still supports Chrome for Jessie, and will for some time, IIRC.
