All,
I'll probably blog this, but I've been doing a little bit of playing trying to get the Chrome web browser built on F17.   The x86 source rpms can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium.   The list of packages is:

chromium-21.0.1180.89-1.fc17.src.rpm          
chromium-ffmpegsumo-21.0.1180.81-1.fc17.src.rpm
jsoncpp-0.6.0-0.1.20120626svn249.fc17.src.rpm  
nacl-binutils-2.20.1-4.gitf412ed5.fc17.src.rpm 
nacl-gcc-4.4.3-5.git3937565.fc17.src.rpm 
nacl-newlib-1.20.0-2.git67e3510.fc17.src.rpm  
v8-3.11.10.20-1.fc17.src.rpm     
webrtc-0.1-0.6.20120613svn2401.fc17.src.rpm 

Attempting to build these (so far):
I'll carry on playing but it occurs to me that starting with the Ubuntu source tree may be quicker / cleaner.   I'll see how far I get down this route so far.   I'm using a large external disk as 8Gb just isn't enough for this; I may experiment using an external usb spinny-disk and just run that as my main development system.
