Chromium 111.0.5563.147 compiled in OE
Compiled Chromium in OpenEmbedded, bumping from 111.0.5563.64. Did an rsync with the EasyOS package repository, uploaded these:
chromium-x11-111.0.5563.147-r1-nocona-64.tar.xz
p11-kit-0.24.1-r2-nocona-64.tar.xz
limine-4.20230503.0-r1-nocona-64.tar.xz
I posted recently about the need to recompile 'p11-kit' (fix for flatpaks):

And for Limine (previous was getting old):

Chromium 111.0.5563.147 is not the latest release, 115.x I think, but it is a LTS version that continues to receive security patches. The 111 channel started on March 7, 2023:

For the record, OE downloaded the Chromium source from here:

The guys who maintain Chromium for OE prefer to track the LTS releases:
