Gentoo Linux项目已决定放弃对Chromium浏览器包的维护。1Chromium包维护者Sam James于9月24日发布了"最后通告"，该包将在10月24日后从官方仓库中移除。1
Sam James表示，"Chromium作为源代码包极难维护，是Gentoo中最容易耗尽维护者精力的软件包。"1维护人员Matt Jolly指出，仅编译时间每周就需要超过6小时的工作量。1这一决定的背景在于Chromium的发布节奏高频——稳定版本每两周发布一个新的主要分支，每周发布新版本。1根据项目估算，需要至少三名维护者才能可持续地维护源代码ebuild。1
当前Gentoo官方仓库中的Chromium版本为151.0.7922.169，已包含602个已知漏洞，而最新的稳定版本为154.0.8037.97（10月1日发布）。1Gentoo用户可转向第三方仓库、其他Linux发行版或Flatpak等替代方案来获取Chromium。1
Gentoo Linux has announced the discontinuation of its Chromium browser package following mounting maintenance challenges. On September 24, maintainer Sam James declared the package in "last rites" status, with removal from the official repository set for October 24 1. The decision reflects the unsustainable burden of supporting Chromium as a source package within the distribution.
The maintenance workload has proven prohibitive for Gentoo's team. According to project contributor Matt Jolly, sustaining the Chromium package requires over six hours of work per week in compilation time alone 1. Chromium's aggressive release cycle compounds this burden: the stable branch advances with a new major version every two weeks, with weekly point releases 1. As of October 1, the latest stable version stands at 154.0.8037.97, while Gentoo's official package lags at version 151.0.7922.169—a build that carries 602 known vulnerabilities 1. Sam James stated: "Chromium is horrible to maintain as a source package. It is easily the package in Gentoo that burns through maintainers the most" 1. Resolving this challenge sustainably would require at least three dedicated maintainers, a resource commitment Gentoo cannot currently sustain 1. Users seeking Chromium after the October 24 cutoff will need to transition to third-party repositories, alternative distributions, or containerized solutions such as Flatpak 1.
