Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-01-07 09:51:24 UTC
I stumbled across <https://github.com/freebsd/chromium> through curiosity, after seeing <https://people.freebsd.org/~yuri/freebsd-github-stars-2023-01-05.html>. 

<https://github.com/freebsd/chromium/blob/master/README.md> begins: 

> freebsd-chromium
> 
> This repository contains the FreeBSD Chromium port. …

Please make users of the www/chromium port aware of this repo for the port. 

Maybe not as a WWW. The package description might be ideal. 

Thanks

That repo is not used anymore and probably should be archived.

Thanks. Shall I raise an issue or PR there, and we can close the bug report here? 

A PR for <https://github.com/freebsd/chromium/blob/master/README.md> might simply state something like: 

> Development of the port now is decentralised (no longer 
> centralised in this repo)

Maybe with a link out to <https://www.freshports.org/www/chromium/>. 

Plus a change to the About line at the front of the repo. 

----

<https://github.com/gliaskos/freebsd-chromium#readme> (but not freebsd/chromium) leads to <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Chromium>. The wiki will benefit from an update after things are clearer here and in GitHub.

> decentralised

Sorry, a poor choice of word. 

Truer/true to say that all recent development of the port is in the ports tree i.e. <https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/www/chromium> and other mirrors?

<https://useful-forks.github.io/?repo=gliaskos%2Ffreebsd-chromium> nothing more recent than 2019-11-21.
