Hi Chad,

this is not a 'nag', but a request as to a time scale for the 'usual'
Chromium update PPA being back up and kicking. Please don't be mad at me,
but for people needing updates owing to bugs etc. I scribbled up a wiki
entry [1] which I'm letting people know of for bugs  (e.g. [2] ) I do
stress that it is a less than perfect solution and am eager to know when we
can use a 'standard' PPA and importantly have the releases back-ported to
earlier releases.

Thanks for taking up this challenge,

Phill.
