Is it possible that this package also depends on nss?

Actually this chromium is just google chrome, why does you name it chromium?

@Bazon, read the pinned comments.

I get an infinite install loop for this. Every time I try to update via yaourt -Sau, the same version is installed again: ---------------------------------------- ==> Software upgrade (new version) : aur/chromium-widevine 1:1.4.8.824-1 -> 1:1.4.8.893-1 (...) ==> Retrieving sources... (...) -> Downloading google-chrome-stable_48.0.2564.116-1_i386.deb... (..) google-chrome-stable_48.0.2564.116-1_i386.deb ... Passed (...) ==> Updated version: chromium-widevine 1:1.4.8.824-1 (...) warning: chromium-widevine-1:1.4.8.824-1 is up to date -- reinstalling (...) -------------------------------------- I really don't understand what that jump in the packagever triggers though... PS: I think that change of pkgver causes the trouble: pkgver() { awk 'match($0,/\(version: \0?([0-9.]+)/,a) {print a[1];}' opt/google/chrome/chrome }

@GLTRV If you have Chrome installed you're already set. The point of this package is to provide the widevine-library for those who don't want to install whole chrome. Chromium saves its libwidevinecdm.so in another location, whereas vivaldi searches for the one in chrome's path.

Why is this package in conflict with Google Chrome? I don't want to remove Google Chrome. chromium-widevine can be installed alongside Google Chrome. Thanks.

They don't have to redownload anything. The filename never changes, so they should still have it available. It will also never upgrade and the pkgver is now behind what is listed in the AUR, so they should realize that they're behind. I pinned an announcement about it in the comments for chromium-widevine.

I initially removed the pkgver() function, because with it the package won't build using bauerbill (I've provided this upstream), but re-added it for now. But I don't know whether pinning just the x86-architecture is the way to go: By doing so, each 32bit user has to redownload the whole chromium every time an update is available, even though nothing changes. Additionaly, they get the impression of a frequently updated software, which it isn't and as which it should not be regarded. After all this is a media extension and definitely has its security flaws, so users should know if there are no more updates. Unfortunately, as of now, I don't have any better idea than slitting the package up or dropping 32bit support, which I don't like, either.

Scimmia commented on 2016-06-23 02:10 (UTC)

Without the pkgver function, the 32-bit version gets the wrong pkgver. It also makes it more difficult to update, as you have to look up the version manually every time you bump the chrome version.

I completely forgot about the snapshot-package, sorry. I'll upload a new version without dependency as soon as possible.
