I was looking for the chromium browser. I was quite surprised and
disappointed that cnf told me nothing. I was quite pleased that google
told me there was a specific web page <http://en.opensuse.org/Chromium>.
And that page seemed very clear that I should click on a link to
download for 11.3, which led me to
<http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=chromium&baseproject=openSUSE%
3A11.3&exclude_debug=true> and then …
GRRR, why am I confused!!!
That page lists several alternatives. Most disqualify themselves by
being targetted at meego but two remain:
-
openSUSE:Factory:Contrib/openSUSE_11.3
-
openSUSE:11.3:Contrib/standard
So what’s the difference? And just as important, why didn’t
<http://en.opensuse.org/Chromium> tell me this was going to happen and
advise me which to choose? Or better yet, why didn’t it refer me
directly to the correct one?
GRRR!
