Bug#1051998: chromium: please to add support for riscv64



Source: chromium
Version: 116.0.5845.180-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Now the chromium can be built[0] on Debian riscv64 with the attached patch.
And it seems it works to visit youtube or bilibili on my Unmatched
board with below arguments:

chromium --no-sandbox --use-gl=egl

But the patch can not be accepted by now because:

The patch will conflict with ppc's patch and it can not be maintained by
rebasing code on ppc patch. In fact, the patch of riscv64 looks like
small and maintenance easily independent. I would like to follow your
advice that how to deal with the situation.

My initial thought is that applying the ppc/riscv64 patch based on 
$(DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU). Sure, this may require a tricky scripts to do so.
I will try my best not to break workflow for all maintainers of
chromium and I will maintain these patch until Chromium upstream support
the riscv64 totally.

Once ready, I will remove the moreinfo tag.

Thanks for all the help porting/backport the chromium riscv64 patch from
distro like[1]&[2] and developers.
