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

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. |

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. |
