Chromium on Fedora

I finally have Chromium on Fedora 11, thanks to Fedora developer, Tom “spot” Callaway‘s dev repo.

In /etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo:

[chromium]
name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

And it was just a matter of doing:

yum install chromium

I CAN HAZ CHROMIUM!

My launcher specifies the following:

--enable-plugins --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions

so this build now supports plugins (it adopted the Mozilla Firefox plugins, like Flash and the Citrix ICA client – YouTube works!), and extensions (I installed AdSweep). I haven’t tried Greasemonkey user scripts yet.
