Building chromium for wayland is a significantly more difficult action than
building it for x11. In order for chromium to run on top of wayland, a shim
is required. This shim is added by checking out a separate repository which
provides patches that are applied to the chromium sources. These patches
are only generated a couple times per year, meaning only a small number of
chromium releases are capable of being run on wayland. This artificially holds
back the versions of chromium which this recipe can provide.
This patch set:
independently and, therefore, lower the maintenance effort while keeping
up-to-date,
latest stable (as per https://www.chromium.org/developers/calendar)
