Micah, why, oh, why are people running around re-inventing the wheel? av has already stated that he would love to work with 'ubuntu' to have the updates done? Meanwhile, the people who matter ... aka Chromium users, do not have 1) Any official default updates arriving. 2) The 'official' ppa is

I'm aware of the third party PPA workaround, but: a) I'm not really sure it can be trusted (I don't know Alex Shkop, sorry) b) I'm certain most people install Chromium from Canonical's repositories rather than PPA (Official or non-official). These people browse the Web with browsers that have

The PPA, as I stated is being re-started by a Canonical guy. It will hopefully be all up and running by the end of this month. Chromium updates already have an exception to allow them to be back ported. The issue is that there was no one doing the 'official' updates. This is going to be resolved.
