[Slackbuilds-users] Features in chromium slackbuild

[Yucatan "Kenjiro" Costa]

Hello there.

I forward a message I got from a fellow chrom[e|ium] user to see if more
people would like this feature (--temp-profile) present in the script which
launches chromium.

I never used such thing, so I wasn't aware of it until today *grin*.

What do you say? Should we have it?

Hi

       Thanks for your chromium slackbuild!

       One thing i'm missing is the support for the --temp-profile, to
load chromium on a temporary profile and removed it in the end (useful
for test webpages without any cache)

       So i grabbed the debian script and tuned it for slackware...
i'm sending it to you, to see if you want to add it to slackbuild, so
everyone can use it. :)

       Again, thanks for your script.
