I've been wondering why the ubuntu's version of chromium is still on 25 -- from lucid up until raring -- while the current stable version is 28. The only reason I use chromium is to use the web apps integration.

PS : I have tried to use the web apps integration on another version of chromium -- not google chrome -- which is 28 then it seems that some features I use was lost while using other version than 25.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to tell you I use the 13.04 version and also the development branch 13.10. My question was : Why does ubuntu doesn't update the package in the repository to the current stable version?

  • Have you run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade recently? Chromium stable v28 has been available from the Software Center for the past couple of days. There's no need to access any ppa as of now to get v28.

    too localized to a particular point in time. Actually, the question is incorrect because Chromium 28 is available.

  • 28 is indeed the current version on the official repositories in precise-updates (earlier only on security.ubuntu.com though). $ apt-cache policy chromium-browser shows Candidate: 28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2 Version table: *** 28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/universe amd64 Packages Maybe packages.ubuntu.com is a bit out of date on this.

The latest update for Chromium was released within the last 24 hours for 12.04. I would expect the same for 13.04.

You may want to check your Update Manager, or run sudo apt-get update from your command line.

As of today, I am running Chromium Version 28.0.1500.52 Ubuntu 12.04 (28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2
