1 The latest dev channel release of chromium (59.0.3053.3) will require
2 >=sys-apps/sandbox-2.11 to build.

4 I'm sending this announcement because this version of sandbox is
5 currently hard masked. So is the chromium version, but with its fast
6 release cycle we can expect it hitting ~arch in few weeks, and stable in
7 the next few weeks. I'd like to make sure we'd be able to push sandbox
8 to stable at the same pace, or find some alternative solution.

10 For curious folks, new sandbox fixes a hang which occurs with tcmalloc.
11 See https://crbug.com/586444 . The new chromium adds a code generator
12 needed for build (inside the network stack). I didn't find an easy way
13 to disable tcmalloc just for that code generator, and after finding
14 above bug new sandbox seemed like the best choice.
