While I very much appreciate your work on the Ungoogled Chromium project and the past OBS builds, the situation on the Deabian / Ubuntu / Arch builds has unfortunately remained unchanged for months now.

This puts users expecting to receive security updates from this channel (OBS repositories) at risk. I believe the only responsible action at this time (and until automated (?) builds on OBS are restored) is to take down the OBS project (if the main project can do so) and/or to remove links to it off the main project's documentation.

I would very much appreciate for any volunteers to take on providing these builds again in the future.

why not use the github CI/CD tools to do automagic builds? it's even possible to cross-compile too!!

@ABCMoNa What hampers you being that very volunteer?

It is not the question of how, because there are plenty of possibilities. The question is who.

The XtraDeb PPA has it. Current version is 118, but it's updated regularly and Chrome stable only reached 119 four days ago, so I expect it'll match again in the near future.

Time, primarily. I'm sorry for having to provide this unsatisfactory answer. I fully understand that more volunteers are needed to keep creating builds. (I'm aware this is an all-volunteer project and that an expectation that 'builds will be provided' - which I do not think I brought forward - would be mislead - as with any volunteer run open source projects).

My main motivation to post was in securing users' systems, which would be at risk when running an outdated web browser. I would also have benefited from Ubuntu builds, however, that's no longer the case (moving to a different OS), so I'm unsubscribing here. Thanks to everyone for your efforts on this project, your replies, also Roy for the XtraDeb link.

@ABCMoNa: I am currently working to address the situation with Debian/Ubuntu support. (The XtraDeb build, in fact, is an early result of collaboration with the repo maintainer.)

It is now currently possible to build, manually, a current Debian source package of Chromium with the u-c modifications applied. The conversion framework under the convert/ directory in this repo makes it possible. What is still needed (that I am currently working on) is automation, to perform those builds unattended as new versions are released.

(The eventual goal is to get u-c into Debian proper, which will then eliminate the need for such automation, and possibly even the conversion framework. But we're not at that point yet.)

I would also have benefited from Ubuntu builds, however, that's no longer the case (moving to a different OS),

If you are moving to a different Debian-derived OS, then I may be able to cover you. Once the automation is in place, the limiting factor will no longer be developer time, but resources to actually build the thing. Outside of OBS and Launchpad, I'm not aware of good options.
