Hi there, Thank you for all of the great work on this so far!
I'm interested in helping with this effort, and very familiar with C++ code and processes in Google code (though not specifically Chromium). I have gotten the 83/84 versions in unstable/experimental building locally in a container as a sanity check. I also have a fork on salsa to work from now: https://salsa.debian.org/arbreng/chromium However, I am very new to Debian packaging and so not sure what the "ideal" workspace setup and workflow is for this kind of work. I just kinda made things up as I went along yesterday. If one of ya'll could walk me through it that would be greatly appreciated - I only know what I learned from the debian Wiki. I know how to build and hack on Chromium itself -- it's just the packaging bits that are still a bit mystifying to me. Thanks again for all the effort!
