Dear All, |
2 |
|
3 |
I notice from looking at a recent post on the debian user list that |
4 |
the current versions of the chromium browser available in debian |
5 |
stretch and buster are rather old and are missing quite a few security |
6 |
updates. |
7 |
|
8 |
The user was requesting a newer version of chromium be made available |
9 |
in debian to solve the problem. |
10 |
|
11 |
It occurred to me that I could use gentoo prefix to install the latest |
12 |
version of chromium from the gentoo repositories. |
13 |
|
14 |
That ought to be more recent. |
15 |
|
16 |
If I would do that, would the installed version of chromium be seen by |
17 |
the debian OS window manager (e.g. LXDE or GNOME or can you only run |
18 |
the browser from inside the gentoo prefix directory after starting it |
19 |
up and specifying path to the browser ie something like |
20 |
/usr/bin/chromium <return> etc? |
21 |
|
22 |
What exactly is the offset used by gentoo prefix? |
23 |
|
24 |
Is it some kind of chroot environment? |
25 |
|
26 |
What is the correct way to copy files in an out of it from the debian |
27 |
OS environment? |
28 |
