Solved Chromium missing from quarterly repositories

Hi all,

I've just done a fresh install of Freebsd 14.3, and got as far as finishing installation of my desktop, and then tried to install chromium. But its not there! getting "pkg: No packages available to install matching 'chromium' have been found in the repositories"

Is it it going to be "Not Available" for long? as this is my browser of choice, and I don't fancy changing repository to latest if I can help it.

Thanks
MG
 
It's been having some issues lately.

Weird issue to be honest:
Code:

www/chromium and its derivatives (including devel/electron*) are too huge and often falls out. Be patient until it finishes successfully within several retries.

Yeah, but that's often some weird loop during the build phase. Now it seems to fail when extracting the distfile. Haven't seen that one before, but perhaps I missed it, don't use it myself.

On my local poudriere builds, when bandwidth of disk I/O is eaten up by pararrel, multiple and massive extracts and/or packaging, one or two of them fails due to timeout. The failure smells like the situation.

www/ungoogled-chromium has the same issue, at least for stable-15 amd64. It did fail to build a couple of weeks ago and it did fail again the other day.

It's a timeout when extracting distfiles too.
 
I had chromium in 14.2, upgraded to 14.3, and still had it, then deleted it as I deleted the dependency libsysinfo for avoiding conflits when building emacs, and now I do not have it and cannot have it.

This is not the first time. One is dependent on chrome, they should have never ended 14.2 until solving this problem with 14.3. This makes FreeBSD unreliable for normal desktop use.
