is there someone else on here who can help ? I think if we can demonstrate some traction, it would go a long way in both the upstream engagement and the conversation with Red Hat - since we can then demonstrate a communal win.
Since Mr. Hughes had already gotten earlier versions of chromium to build under CentOS 6 (c.f. http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/), and he indicated it was merely a matter of getting RHEL to give permission for him to redistribute it more "formally" to the community, I was hoping progress had been made with that.
Johnny, can you perhaps quantify the effort a bit ? And if you need help what sort of help you might need for this ? I suspect a large part of that is just going to be time in day.
Have you, as the CentOS project lead ever asked RedHat if they can make their version of Chromium for CentOS 6 available for us? If not, can you please?
I havent, but am more than willing to take the question up.

Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project
Thanks. I imagine (hope?) there shouldn't be too much effort to get this to work, since it's already been done upstream. RedHat continues to push out updates even. E.g. https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0638.html
