The exact +version number in the package filename will depend on the version +of Google Chrome found in the .deb package, but it will be something +like: google-chrome-10.0.648.151-x86_64-1.txz + +You'll find the output package in the /tmp directory. + + +Then, install the package (again as root): + +cd /tmp +upgradepkg --install-new google-chrome-10.0.648.151-x86_64-1.txz + + +Finally, please note that Google Chrome requires the GConf and ORBit2 +packages found in this directory in order to run. Be careful with these +as they may create unintended dependencies on GConf/ORBit2 in other +software that you compile on machines where they are installed. + +Newer beta and unstable builds may also require the PAM library libpam.so.0. +Installing the google-chrome-pam-solibs package in this directory will +allow these newer versions of Chrome to run without having to actually +switch the system to using PAM. If you need real PAM (to compile Chromium +for example), you can find it in /extra/source/pam/. + +Enjoy! :-) + |
