Hmm... Name : chromium Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.9.12 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 21 Build Date: Wed 29 Jan 2003 14:40:10 GMT Install Date: Sat 31 Jan 2009 17:59:57 GMT Build Host: sylvester.devel.redhat.com I wasn't weeping the other day when I was happily playing this under fedora 10. Does that qualify as recent?. Cheers anyway. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
