+ Introduction + +

This report covers &os;-related projects between January and + March 2014. This is the first of four reports planned for 2014.

+ + + + +

Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report + contains 1 entry and we hope you enjoy reading it.

+ +

The deadline for submissions covering between April and + June 2014 is July 7th, 2014.

Over the last four years the Chromium team has been busy with + porting Chromium to &os;. This involves patching the browser so + that it runs on &os;, tracking and documenting security updates, + and merging patches back upstream.

+ +

While there are already several browsers available for &os;, + advantages of Chromium are:

+ +
    +
  • Quick response from upstream to security issues, resulting + in approximately bi-weekly updates.
  • + +
  • A testbed for security features of &os;, like Capsicum. + While support for this capability and sandbox framework is + currently not included in the browser, a proof-of-concept + implementation for an early version of Chromium was realized + within a single weekend.
  • +
+ +

George Liaskos and &a.rene; are currently busy with submitting + the remaining patches specific to &os; back upstream. Apart from + making future updates easier, it sometimes also improves the + overall code quality.

+ +

&a.jonathan; recently updated the Capsicum patches for Chromium + and is talking to upstream about them.

+ + + + Advocate &os;. While patches are getting accepted by both + humans and bots, it is not an official platform so attitude varies + from developer to developer. While &a.rene; thinks it is a bit + early, it might be fruitful to investigate what is required to + make &os; (and possibly OpenBSD) an official platform in terms + of both hardware and procedures. + + If you feel comfortable with large source trees, you can try + to build the Git version of Chromium on &os;. If you are also + comfortable with signing Googles Contributor License Agreement, + you can join testing and submitting patches upstream. + +
