I'm seeing the following banner when I start up google-chrome 48-beta (48.0.2564.48 beta (64-bit)) on my 7.2 machines: This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because this Linux system will no longer be supported. Does this portend a support issue for chrome on centos-7 in a few months when the underlying changes make their way into their -stable (since, as I understand it/as last I remember, in the centos world we don't have benefit of the RH chromium release)?
Ouch I don't know. Awhile back I was successfully running midori on CentOS but I stopped because it was a PITA to keep porting Fedora spec files to CentOS to get it to work, as Fedora diverged more and more. Maybe there should be a SIG or whatever to maintain webkit browsers for CentOS for those who don't like FireFox.

Current midori builds in mock, I just tried, but the BuildRequires appear to be wrong because not all the extensions are built resulting in not all extensions found in %files section being there. I'll look at the build log and maybe see if there is a way to make it work and file bug report with fix + EPEL build request if I can get it to work. I know it's not chrome, but it is webkit and is wicked fast at rendering. And it uses gstreamer for html5 which is nice. On 12/17/2015 12:45 PM, Alice Wonder wrote:> Ouch I don't know.

It looks like Google doesn't think RHEL7/CentOS7 is "new" enough to run Chrome. I suggest providing feedback to Google, perhaps they might consider dropping RHEL7/CentOS7 support if they get enough feedback, although I suspect they really couldn't care less about RPM-based distros, most of their code seems to be all ubuntu-based. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

If I remember correctly, RHEL/CentOS-7 is based against fedora-19.
