ungoogled-chromium-downloads

Repository containing website for ungoogled-chromium binaries.

IMPORTANT: These binaries are provided by anyone who are willing to build and submit them. Because these binaries are not necessarily reproducible, authenticity cannot be guaranteed.

This website uses GitHub Pages on the master branch. Use this link to see the webpage. An Atom feed is available here.

For problems, suggestions, and questions, please use the Issue tracker.

Developer info

When creating new pages or adding new versions, use an existing version as a template to follow. If you have questions or suggestions, please create an Issue.

Publishing new binaries

Prerequisites:

• Python 3 for all scripts under utilities/
• Python-Markdown for utilities/site_generator.py

Steps

Steps to publish a new binary. An example of these steps is in the next section.

1. Fork the main binaries repository (ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-binaries)
   • If this has been done before, pull in new changes from this one if necessary.
2. Create a new Release (i.e. using GitHub's Release feature) in the fork and upload binaries to it. The tag name used must be unique for each Release; it normally matches the ungoogled-chromium version.
3. Upload binaries to the new Release
4. Use utilities/platform_ini_generator.py to generate an INI file with the correct URLs to binaries. It requires paths to a locally stored copy of the binaries for computing hashes. Redirect the standard output to an .ini file in the config/platforms directory with the corresponding version as the name. Use the -h or --help argument for more details.
   • If a directory structure in config/platforms doesn't exist for the binary's target platform and version, create the necessary directories with the associated display_name files in the same manner as existing platforms.
5. If necessary, update config/valid_versions. If you are uploading the first build for a new version of ungoogled-chromium, this needs to be updated.
6. Run utilities/site_generator.py to generate the new HTML files. There are no arguments. It must be run from the root of the repository.
7. Push the resulting changes in the repository. Make a pull request against the main repository.
   • This can be bypassed if one is part of the Binaries Team.

Notes:

• platform_ini_generator.py is currently restricted to generating INI files with URLs to binaries in GitHub releases. If binaries are uploaded elsewhere, then the INI must be created by other means.
• Additional changes can be made to the website configuration before step 5 as necessary.

Example

Example command-line steps (with comments, denoted by a hash # symbol). Replace YOURNAME in the steps with your GitHub username.

First-time setup:

# In GitHub, fork ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-binaries to YOURNAME/ungoogled-chromium-binaries
git clone https://github.com/YOURNAME/ungoogled-chromium-binaries.git
cd ungoogled-chromium-binaries
git remote add upstream https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-binaries.git
git config branch.master.remote upstream
git config branch.master.pushRemote origin

Publish binaries:

The following example demonstrates publishing Debian 9 (stretch) amd64 packages located in /home/user/ungoogled-chromium/buildspace/ (which is assumed to be the shell expanded form of ~/ungoogled-chromium/buildspace/) for ungoogled-chromium version 99.0.1234.567-1:

# In GitHub, create a new Release on YOURNAME/ungoogled-chromium-binaries with a name "99.0.1234.567-1" (without quotes) and a new tag "99.0.1234.567-1" (without quotes; insert it into the tag field). Upload all necessary files from /home/user/ungoogled-chromium/buildspace/ into the Release.
cd ungoogled-chromium-binaries # The same as the one setup above
git pull
# Edit config/valid_versions and add "99.0.1234.567-1" (without quotes) ONLY if it does not exist.
# Create the directories debian/ and debian/stretch_amd64 with corresponding display_name files in config/platforms/ ONLY if they do NOT exist.
./utilities/platform_ini_generator.py 99.0.1234.567-1 YOURNAME ~/ungoogled-chromium/buildspace/*.deb ~/ungoogled-chromium/buildspace/*.changes ~/ungoogled-chromium/buildspace/*.buildinfo > config/platforms/debian/stretch_amd64/99.0.1234.567-1.ini
./utilities/site_generator.py
git add *
git commit -m 'Add 99.0.1234.567-1 binaries for Debian stretch amd64'
git push
# In GitHub, create a pull request in ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-binaries with the new change in YOURNAME/ungoogled-chromium-binaries
