Hi
I have updated the source (yet again) build for chrome this
evening, it's now at 4.0.204 as well
<http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/4/6/2393623/RPMs/openSUSE_11_1/google-chrome-unstable-4.0.204-svn20090828.1.src.rpm>

Updated spec file;

Also updated depot_tools, softlink changed which only discovered
after I had reboot this system....

Hi
I have updated the source (yet again) build for chrome today, it's now
at 4.0.205 as well as including the new 0.9.7 build of
gecko-mediaplayer plugins;

Hi malcolmlewis,

I have been building chromium as well, and I have taken parts of your SPEC file (I hope that is ok, you did some things smarter than I.) I am using gyp to generate all the project make files, so I don't need the depot_tools.

I am wondering if you know how to make gyp generate the make files so I can use the LSB dir structure (i.e. /usr/lib, /usr/share, /usr/bin, etc.) and specify a different library directory.

Specifically, I want the chrome binary to use look for the libavcodec.so.52 in another directory other than itself so I can satisfy rpmlint FHS checks. (The libavcodec I use is completely crippled so as to only play open/unemcumbered codecs.)

I don't know if this can be done... chromium is a complicated project.

My OBS project is here, if you want to take a look:

Hi
Had a quick look and see what your trying to achieve and will try an
have a look in the next day or so I haven't used scons much at all.

Yes, the depot tools are for just updating the source.

You may also want to look at bz2ing those files to reduce the size

Thanks.

I still use 'make'... seems to be faster than 'scons'.

The source is enormous. I took the tarball that google provides, then I removed all the .svn directories and data. I then just compressed it again. Another question: do you know if the build service will allow for a 7z or lzma source? Recompressing it resulted in the following:

tar.gz ~438 MB
tar.bz2 ~384
7z (lzma) ~285 MB

lzma is the clear winner; it would be nice to use it for sources. But, I will use bz2 from now on if there is no alternative, it just takes a long time to compress and decompress.

Oh. And I guess I don't really need to have libavcodec... it was just an exercise to see if I could get it working. The video works just fine although sound is a bit choppy (maybe it's conflicting with already system-installed ffmpeg libraries.)

Thanks again,
D

Hi
There's no reason not to use lmza, instead of using the setup macro,
just replace that with your commands to extract the source.

I'm also guessing you have seen this?
http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List

It may be worth asking on the OBS mailing list eventhough you have
stripped out codecs from ffmpeg, it may still not be allowed?

Ah yes. I will just not use the %setup macro, then. For some reason, I thought it was required...

Yes. I have seen the application black list. I decided to turn publish off for my package because I still wasn't sure if I was crossing the line, even if I crippled ffmpeg almost completely. I will try and ask the mailing list.

Thanks again,

Hi
I think once you get confirmation then it's probably worthwhile you and
Bender working together and I can help as required

What desktop are you using? Have you tried the gecko-mediaplayer
plugins at all?

Ok,

I spoke with darix (one of the OBS content admins) on #openSUSE-buildservice.

He said that to make it 'safe' as far as openSUSE is concerned, I would have to strip the ffmpeg source, before compiling, of any code that might deal with the encumbered codecs. I would then have to submit the stipped source tarball for review. He mentioned that is what they do to xine before including it in the distribution.

I think I would rather focus my energies on chromium instead of ffmpeg at the moment. I have a SPEC file to clean up now....

Hi
Updated the depot_tools to 1.0-3.1 to include the linking of the fonts
and added BuildRequires for the fonts.
