Dear All,
In the morning after I have synced my portage I saw there is a
google-chrome and chromium package. The version numbers are the same.
I watched the websites and basically they are the same. Google Chrome
is the Chrome browser and the Chromium is the open source project. I
would like to know what is the difference between them and why do we
have two package?
Thanks in advance for any information!
András

This is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_chrome
Chromium implements a similar feature set as Chrome, but lacks built-in
automatic updates, built-in PDF reader and Google branding, and most
noticeably has a blue-colored logo in place of the multicolored Google logo.

Also, one is a binary, one is source that you need to compile. And
Chromium is an EXTREMELY long compile....

I agree it takes long time (1-2 hours on my machine) but the compile
time doesn't matter for me. I upgrade my machine from my workplace.

This was brought up on gentoo-dev ML last week by Mike Gilbert (aka floppym)
.
---Snip----
I have been maintaining an ebuild for Google Chrome in an overlay. It
basically extracts a deb file to /opt. This serves as an easy
alternative for people who do not have the patience to compile
Chromium.
Now that I have developer access, I would like to move this to the
tree. Before doing so, I need some advice on how to deal with the
EULA[1].
