Subject: [gentoo-user] Binary chrome - is it safe in terms of dependencies?
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:09:57 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHgBc-uMOTJqQaPYYw2QxLwM0O5KbcOxi7poM=8Busfwgf5pjg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

There are two packages of chrome on repository, one is the binary
version officially made available by Google and another is the open
source version chromium.

Since Gentoo updates libraries very quickly, I'm wondering if it is
safe to use the binary version? Has anyone faced library breakages on
this?

Chromium is easily recompiled with new libraries and you don't have a
broken browser, which won't really be the case with the binary
version.
