Package: chromium Version: 83.0.4103.116-3.1 Severity: wishlist Currently, the way that chromium is being maintained is far from the standards that we expect in Debian.
A considerable number of reasonable bug reports (like, for instance the one for enabling sharing one's desktop in this age of pandemic and many people having to work from home) are not answered or ignored. Besides that, there is a skeleton of a version 84 in the repo, but the package manager (and https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chromium) doesn't know about it. Going even further, Google Chrome (which I really, really don't want to install on my systems) is already at version 86 according to both https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history and https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2020/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_12.html Furthermore, https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chromium lists, at this moment, 100 security issues in sid, buster and bullseye. Honestly, if one can't keep up with updates to their packages, at least make a call for a group of buddy developers to help (the package tracker doesn't show any kind of RFH bug open) or find someone else that is willing to maintain the package. Thanks, Rogério Brito. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii chromium-common 83.0.4103.116-3.1 ii libasound2 1.2.3.2-1 ii libatk-bridge2.0-0 2.38.0-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.36.0-2 ii libatspi2.0-0 2.38.0-2 ii libavcodec58 7:4.3.1-4 ii libavformat58 7:4.3.1-4 ii libavutil56 7:4.3.1-4 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libcups2 2.3.3-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.20-1 ii libdrm2 2.4.102-1 ii libevent-2.1-7 2.1.12-stable-1 ii libexpat1 2.2.10-1 ii libflac8 1.3.3-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-4.2 ii libfreetype6 2.10.2+dfsg-3 ii libgbm1 20.1.9-1 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.0-13 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.40.0+dfsg-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.0-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.23-2 ii libharfbuzz0b 2.6.7-1 ii libicu67 67.1-4 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:2.0.5-1.1 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3.1 ii liblcms2-2 2.9-4+b1 ii libminizip1 1.1-8+b1 ii libnspr4 2:4.28-1 ii libnss3 2:3.56-1 ii libopenjp2-7 2.3.1-1 ii libopus0 1.3.1-0.1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.46.2-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.46.2-1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.37-3 ii libpulse0 13.0-5 ii libre2-8 20201001+dfsg-1 ii libsnappy1v5 1.1.8-1 ii libstdc++6 10.2.0-13 ii libvpx6 1.8.2-1 ii libwebp6 0.6.1-2+b1 ii libwebpdemux2 0.6.1-2+b1 ii libwebpmux3 0.6.1-2+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.12-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.12-1 ii libxcb-dri3-0 1.14-2 ii libxcb1 1.14-2 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.5-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.2.0-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.5-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-2 ii libxi6 2:1.7.10-1 ii libxml2 2.9.10+dfsg-6 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.34-4 ii libxss1 1:1.2.3-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.3-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 Versions of packages chromium recommends: ii chromium-sandbox 83.0.4103.116-3.1 Versions of packages chromium suggests: pn chromium-driver <none> pn chromium-l10n <none> pn chromium-shell <none> Versions of packages chromium-common depends on: ii x11-utils 7.7+5 ii xdg-utils 1.1.3-2 Versions of packages chromium-common recommends: ii chromium-sandbox 83.0.4103.116-3.1 ii fonts-liberation 1:1.07.4-11 ii libgl1-mesa-dri 20.1.9-1 pn libu2f-udev <none> ii mate-notification-daemon [notification-daemon] 1.24.1-1 ii system-config-printer 1.5.12-1 ii upower 0.99.11-2 Versions of packages chromium-sandbox depends on: ii libc6 2.31-3 -- no debconf information -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@{ime.usp.br,gmail.com} : GPG key 4096R/BCFCAAAA http://cynic.cc/blog/ : github.com/rbrito : profiles.google.com/rbrito DebianQA: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=rbrito%40ime.usp.br
