[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 713 bytes --]

Hello Guix,

Version 78 of the upstream Chromium project was released yesterday, with
the usual amount of security fixes:

https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2019/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_22.html

Unfortunately the 'ungoogled-chromium' variant in Guix is still stuck on
version 76.  The reason is that we rely on Debians patches, which have
gone stale:

https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium

I plan to remove 'ungoogled-chromium' and 'ungoogled-chromium-wayland'
in a few days, unless someone is willing to port the patches.  I can
help extracting just the few changes we need, but do not have time nor
motivation to port them to the newer version myself.

Here is a preliminary patch:

Sounds reasonable to me.

If/when someone wants to work on the upgrade, or if the Debian Chromium
team picks it up, we can always reinstate it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

It is done:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=22c313eff8500cb7d8a370a6eaed95a5540af323

I intend to remove it completely in ~two months unless the situation
changes by then.

I wonder if we should add an entry in etc/news.scm about this?

Thanks for the heads-up.  I don't have time to proceed with the upgrade
right now, but will get on it 'eventually'.  Help welcome :-)
