You're aware that this version of chromium is outdated by few eons, right? BTW, much more recent version ( from squeeze) works on Maemo via Easy Debian.

Also, chromium is FOSS - why you shouldn't be able to publish debs?...

Yeah but it works on some websites which did not work with other browsers. I mean TV streaming sites for example work quit fast with this browser than firefox or iceweasel in ED for example. Maybe I dont have the right configs. (I did not test many sites, mostly http://play.tv or http://mytvonline.org for example)
By the way Estel do you have a link to your recent and up to date image for ED? With chromium already installed

?

Well the original site is down and it seems that the soft disappeared from repositories (I don't know why). As it is quite difficult to find it on internet (but thanks google) i was wondering if it was fine to upload the links here??

No, but "recent and updated" chromium doesn't work for in ED (or for whole armel), so it doesn't matter much

The version from ED thread (or qole repos) of my squeeze image should be OK.

Because Council was spineless at this time, and retracted FOSS-licensed software from repos, just due to the fact that google got some patent claims by 3rd party. Other distros - like Debian - never did that, and of course, they were right. Chromium was, is, and will be OK to be in repos.

As for your "more recent" needs - try QML browser, it's faster, and uses latest webkit.

fyi:
Raspbian (armhf) has Chromium 22 in their Repos:
http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian...omium-browser/

It may work in Easy Debian (Wheezy). But I have not tested it. In case you want to try, here are the Raspbian repos:
http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianRepository

Edit:
Don't bother, it won't work.

1st:
You'd need to install those packages manually since Debian Wheezy contains a newer chromium version which is why apt will try to pull the *_all.deb packages from Debian. These of course are incompatible with the older Raspbian packages.
But that's manageable.

2nd:
If you successfully installed chromium it won't start due to this error message:

Code:

libudev: udev_monitor_enable_receiving: bind failed: Operation not permitted

A google search makes me believe we're tricked by our ancient kernel again, because among the few hits the even fewer hits with any clues point to outdated kernel versions.
@Nokia: Thanks again for all the blobs that leave us stuck with 2.6.28!

3rd:
There's a workaround: Start chromium as root.
Yes! Yuck! No! Don't!
