Yeah, you should feel free to do that. I'm not sure what the advantage of doing that would be. The Chromium builds don't auto-update, so they quickly become out of date.
The original poster wanted to run a build of Chromium from the stable branch with extensions enabled, but that's not possible because the extension system doesn't exist in the 172 branch. A better way to address this use case is to use the --user-data-dir option to run multiple independent copies Google Chrome with different preferences / history / etc. Adam On Sat, Aug 8, 2009 at 2:25 AM, PhistucK<phist...@gmail.com> wrote: > I know you can build it by yourself, the suggestion\request here is to have > a Chromium snapshot of each branch when it is released (an archive with > older releases is welcome, too, but not a must have). > Will you consider that? > ☆PhistucK > > > On Sat, Aug 8, 2009 at 10:28, Adam Barth <aba...@chromium.org> wrote: >> >> If you want to build Chromium from the same source as the stable build >> of Google Chrome, you can build from this branch: >> >> http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/branches/172/src/ >> >> We would all love there to be a beta / stable version of Chromium for >> Linux.
