Sure, we talked to them (redhat). That does not make the code actually build any faster.
The code does not build (as is) on EL6 and each build needs to be troubleshot and error corrected to make it work.
Currently there are several pieces not building ... just like there were before. The 31 tree was finally made to build, after several changes, The 32 tree is not building.
I like to use chromium as well ... but the only supported browser is Firefox ... that is the one with EL support. Chromium is a best effort to get to build (and it always will be) ... Google has no interest in supporting it, so we are taking the code that they release and working with it until it builds on EL6.
Thanks for the update Johnny,
In the meantime I have requested Remi's repo for Firefox 27.
Why do you need Firefox 27 ... CentOS has the latest ESR version of Firefox (24.3.0) that gets security updates and it will always be the ESR version, so it will always get security updates and always move forward. So, moving forward and supported.

This firefox should be relevant, do almost everything the new one does, and be supportable within an organization. In fact, Mozilla chose to work with Enterprise Linux groups while Google basically thumbed their noses at the prospect.
Why can't an always moving forward branch of Firefox work for you?
