Ungoogled-chromium: Add OpenBSD Support

Created on 22 Jan 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

Anybody interested in getting ungoogled-chromium into the OpenBSD ports tree?

Same problem as with FreeBSD, they have up-to-date Chromium and Iridium, but ungoogled-chromium would make so much more sense!

On OpenBSD Chromium is made to make use of unveil:

If you run it with --enable-unveil, Chromium will be prevented (at the OS level) from accessing anything other than your ~/Downloads folder.

FYI I'm not using OpenBSD (yet) but I'm evaluating its use on my laptop. I'm not a developer and I'm not qualified to create and/or maintain a port, so this really is just a feature request in case someone else with the required skills and the same desire should be interested.

This sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we should take this idea and run with it.

The *BSDs are a very different beast in that they are more source based than binary based compared to the normal for Linux. We could maintain a downstream port to make this possible but it would be best to have a sponsor that could maintain it in their ports collection in some manner.

Wow, great progress. I guess someone will have to post this to an appropriate OpenBSD mailing list for approval by OpenBSD devs?

I'm sorry that I can't help, still not using OpenBSD yet and nowhere near to contribute to the project, also no knowledge about the proper process to get a port added.
