Missing a bit more instructions

[walterheck]

Hello,

I tried running your script, but it is a bit mysterious as to what's actually happening. Can you sehd some light on a few things?

1. In https://github.com/kusti8/chromium-build/blob/master/build-deb.sh#L27 you download a tarball from your own repo. Where does that come from/what does it contain?

2. In https://github.com/kusti8/chromium-build/blob/master/build-deb.sh#L32 it obviously expects a src/ directory. Can you enlighten us a bit more what that is?

The general idea here is that you're copying a few things from another chrome version I guess? A little explanation would be awesome :)

thanks for the great work by the way, I have a 3 year old son who is very happy on a daily basis :)

This repo isn't meant to generate a chromium build with Netflix. It ties in with the foundation's patch. In the patch they include instructions to download a fresh source of chromium, apply the patch, setup the sysroot and build it. This script sources the binaries from the chromium source and then builds a Deb automatically. The tarball is a template Deb package which gets changed with the script. To get Netflix working takes a lot more work, including downloading the latest widevine libraries, adding them to Deb the packaging it. I currently don't have that much time to work on it and Netflix on the pi has become less of a priority for me. I may get time this weekend, but I'm not certain.

Do you have a link to this?

This script sources the binaries from the chromium source and
then builds a Deb automatically. The tarball is a template Deb package
which gets changed with the script.

right

To get Netflix working takes a lot more work, including downloading the
latest widevine libraries, adding them to Deb the packaging it. I currently
don't have that much time to work on it and Netflix on the pi has become
less of a priority for me. I may get time this weekend, but I'm not
certain.

I have little bits and pieces of time but as you seem to somehow have become the easiest way for tons of people to get this working I'd love to get some clarity on this so we can all pitch in and move this forward :)
