Hi,

when I started my MGA9 this morning, there was an update of a few
packages.

One of them updated chromium web browser (tainted) from v. 120 to 123.

Does anyone know why this big step was necessary?

Best regards,

Markus

It's not unusual for packages to skip numbers, as some releases fail to get
through qa testing, or the packager who handles it for Mageia doesn't get
around to updating the Mageia version before the next version is released.

In this case chromium was pushed as quickly as it could be, as the next
release is already ready to start being built and qa testing.

I'm no longer involved in the testing, but do still skim through the mailing
lists to keep track of what's going on.

Hi,

good to know, thanks!

I am using it for things like online banking, so, usually I try to
undestand why an update was necessary and what it does.

Best regards,

Markus

Page doesn't load. Seems to be offline.

Could this be the reason why v 123 is not yet available for i686?
It doesn't show up in tainted updates / updates-testing.

The latest two Chromiums will not build for i686, and it's something we
apparently can't change, so 32-bit systems will no longer be supported.

Without access to Bugzilla, I don't remember the reason off the top of
my head. I'll post the link when I see Bugzilla is back.

The page is back again.

But, why cannot Chromium be built? Dependency problem?

At least, Mageia is -- still -- one the very rare distros supporting 32bit
machines. I have some of them still, and it would really hurt having to
throw them away.

Best regards,

Markus

Seems to be back up now. Daniel's link does show the note that is in the
advisory. For a more detailed but possibly more difficult to understand
explanation, see
