Fair enough, that's totally understandable if you don't want to maintain
a crypto library. I just had to ask :)
However, we've got a F21 release looming closer and I'd like to make
sure major 3rd party apps keep working out of the box. And yes, this
includes Chrome.
This is especially important since we don't have Chromium in the Fedora
repositories; otherwise we could tell users to use that instead.
In this specific case, users have two options:
– use Chromium from Spot's repository
– use Chromium from Russian Fedora repository
Third option is:
– use compat libgcrypt from Stephen's repository.
Those are not really different, but I suppose maintaining multiple
version of crypto library is worse. Either way, it is up to Google
to provide precompiled software with up-to-date environment.
