[CLOSED] Chromium release tracking thread

Everybody (except Debian) including Snap seems to have missed the release of: 103.0.5060.114 on Jul 4 2022

This issue started with an upstream problem with the release tarballs: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1341418

@elcste many thanks for the link - lets hope it gets fixed soon. Presumably debian have managed to find a way around the problem…

Per comment 20 the release tarball has been available since 2022-07-09 and other distros have released updates. The delay is concerning as the release addressed multiple security issues including a 0-day with an active exploit, CVE-2022-2294. https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-2294

The amd64 build just finished

and I see 103.0.5060.114 in the candidate channel now

(Personally I’m waiting for latest beta build: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-team/+snap/chromium-snap-from-source-beta/+build/1824249)

https://snapcraft.io/chromium now shows

  • 103.0.5060.114 is available for latest/stable
  • 104.0.5112.48 for latest/beta

Good to see - I didn’t know about that build tracker. I see a build of the same version completed on the 15th - is that a normal lead time from build completion to release?

No, I’m not sure what that was about. I often follow the beta builds and usually they arrive within a day or two at the most. @oSoMoN (and now @nteodosio?) is the one who works on this I believe.

Has there been another problem with Chromium-105.0.5195.125?

It was released on 13-September but only Debian and Arch have released Linux versions…

Will there be a Snap version??

Thank you for noting, I’ve let it slip, sorry!

It’s now building; Assuming it goes smoothly it will be available in the candidate channel in some hours for x86 and in a day or two for ARM.

Ah, thanks as always, but please use @nteodosio or I won’t see your (very welcome) pings timely, if at all.

I had introduced a bug in my release notification script, but a week without a Chromium release being as rare as hen’s teeth I grew suspicious and checked it earlier today anyway :p.

If you need a fail-safe, I follow the Chrome Releases blog desktop category using this atom feed.

@nteodosio The Stable channel has been updated to 106.0.5249.103

Thanks @elcste!

I’m getting notifications for those, but fun-fact: The Chromium tarball is only available after some time (hours?) of each release announcement.

Totally fine by me — thanks for the pings — but maybe folks will get angry with us by bumping the post every couple of days :P.

You could instead ping me at IRC or send me mail if you like.
