Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "chromium-embedded-framework": * Package name : chromium-embedded-framework Version : 138.0.1 Upstream contact: Marshall Greenblatt <[email protected]> * URL : https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef * License : BSD-3-Clause * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/mendezr/chromium-embedded-framework Section : libs It builds these binary packages: libcef138 - Chromium Embedded Framework runtime library libcef-dev - Chromium Embedded Framework development files cef-resources - Chromium Embedded Framework resources To access further information about this package, please visit: https://mentors.debian.net/package/chromium-embedded-framework/ Or retrieve with dget: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/chromium-embedded-framework/chromium-embedded-framework_138.0.1.dsc Changes for initial release: chromium-embedded-framework (138.0.1) experimental; urgency=medium * Initial release (Closes: #915400) * 58 patches for network-isolated Debian builds * Tested with stremio-gtk (ITP #1119815) -- Juan Manuel Mendez Rey <[email protected]> == Why this package matters == This ITP has been open since December 2018 (7 years). CEF is required by: - obs-studio: browser plugin (blocked by #956086) - stremio-gtk: media center (ITP #1119815, ready and waiting for CEF) - casparcg-server: HTTP support == Important notes for sponsors == 1. TARGET: experimental (not unstable) CEF requires Chromium sources, but chromium-source doesn't exist in Debian (RFP #893448). The Debian Security Team recommended experimental until proper infrastructure exists. 2. FORMAT: 3.0 (native) CEF patches apply before Chromium extraction; Chromium patches apply during build to paths that don't exist at unpack time. Standard quilt cannot handle this workflow. See debian/README.source. 3. BUILD REQUIREMENTS: Non-standard Requires manual setup of chromium orig.tar.xz and rust-toolchain.tar.xz in parent directory. Cannot be autobuilt without special configuration. Full instructions in debian/README.source. 4. LINTIAN: Clean with documented overrides Overrides for depot_tools binaries (Google's toolchain, not used in Linux builds) are explained in debian/source/lintian-overrides.
