Chromium, the open-source
upstream project for Google’s Chrome web browser, is the browser of choice for
many Linux users. It has also gained a reputation as being difficult for Linux distributions to
package and build: Chromium has a complex build system, the project bundles
many of its dependencies, and it has frequent releases. All of that, plus user
complaints, has led the maintainers of the Gentoo Chromium
package to give up on trying to maintain the package.
