I guess it would be best to make up collectively a tiny git repo with |
20 |
scripts which do exactly what is needed? |

First of all it could be a set of chromium builds with different use |
23 |
flags (a set of such configurations needs to be defined), saved as |
24 |
binary packages, so that all the builds could be tested at once by |
25 |
unpacking every build, in turn. All build logs must be saved for review, |
26 |
and failures should be reported. Makes sense? Ideas? Comments? |
