Yes, yes. Everybody thinks we should push this to the chromium package, or upstream debian, or upstream chromium. Which one is best? Also how?

The patch just changes the browser's branding and removes a few functions - all other stuff is just original Chromium.

If the changes are not significantly greater than this small patch I think it is the best idea to cooperate with upstream to make Chromium more privacy friendly instead of just attaching a small patch to a browser and handle it as a completely other browser. -- [needs-packaging] iron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, that is an interesting link and I had a few eye-opening moments (I read almost all of the original chat log). However, I disagree with many of the assessments on that page. Regardless, it may be very difficult to do what SRWare has done, and chromium still has all of the problems that created the need for Iron. For whatever reason people haven't "fixed" chromium. Oh and you were right about rapidshare, it's a pain in the ass! Though your suggestions sound fine with me, I guess. Is there any way we can see some of these changes put into chromium? I'm new to ubuntu policies so I don't know how one would go about getting this done. I have attached a *partial* list of differences between Chromium and Iron to this ticket. You can read the patch directly (preferred) or apply the patch to a checkout: svn export http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/@37090 cd trunk patch -p1 <../patch-iron-partial-37090 I haven't tried to compile or test anything, this is just what I have found from downloading the rapidshare files. adrian ** Attachment added: "patch-iron-partial-37090" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48772874/patch-iron-partial-37090 -- [needs-packaging] iron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with Christoph, as more as I learn about Iron it seems to be a very - weird project. There has been a lot of discussion about it, even inside Debian. Debian has decided not to include Iron if the current situation does not change.

Hello Christoph, - Whether the Chromium browser does not protect the user's privacy. Run "sudo tcpdump -n port 80" and type something into the URL bar. Everything you type into the URL bar (as you type it) is getting sent to 1e100.net for the purposes of displaying results in the bar. See also http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_chrome_vs_iron.php for evidence. - Whether the Iron browser protects the user's privacy. Can't say much about this. Is there evidence that google protects the user's privacy? - Whether the Iron browser is actively maintained.

Hmm... After searching for some information about Iron, I found this one about Iron: > http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2009/12/iron.html By the details mentioned in the article, I have to question the purpose of Iron again... And if it was just built to get publicity it's not worth packaging. Better use Chromium instead and change its configuration.

[Bug 483473] Re: [needs-packaging] iron
Both. Rapidshare has a -- weird download system with timeouts, bandwidth and time limitations etc. which makes impossible for uscan to detect new package versions. A good package should be able to check for new upstream versions. And I'm pretty sure that debuild can't work with split archives. The new version of the packaging specs make it possible to build from more than one source package, but not from split source packages. (If I'm wrong, please correct me) I'll try to build a package from the given source tomorrow.

Matthias, I sent SRWare an email. Basically I asked if they had a place other than rapidshare that we could download the source and I asked if they had a place where it wasn't split up into parts (i.e. 001, 002, 003, 004). I'll let you know if they reply. Just for my own curiosity, can you explain "makes it impossible to make Iron available in Ubuntu's universe repositories". Which? Is it the rapidshare location or the split into parts problem or both? Why?

I don't use Chromium, I thought read it somewhere that Chromium does not require Google... From Wikipedia: Google takes this source code and adds on the Google name and logo, an auto-updater system called GoogleUpdate, an opt-in option for users to send Google their usage statistics and crash reports as well as RLZ-tracking which transmits information in encoded form to Google, for example, when and where Chrome has been downloaded. Well, I think we can build Iron at least for GetDeb. Why is the sourcecode only available as split archive at Rapidshare? (This makes it impossible to make Iron available in Ubuntu's universe repositories) Is there a chance to get one tarball containing the code which is not distributed via Rapidshare? -- [needs-packaging] iron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
