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? |
