To follow updates I will provide for Chrome RPM packages please bookmark or check:

The newest release of the Chrome Unstable browser is upon us.. I’m not sure what fixes this build brings us, but I know we still don’t have basic features like plugins etc.
Here is more information if you want full change logs:
http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
I’ve made some rpm’s to make it easier for you to install on openSUSE:
The files are located here:
http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.192.0-1.i386.rpm
http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.192.0-1.x86_64.rpm
You can install using:
x86_64:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.192.0-1.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
i386:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.192.0-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
You may still have to do:
for i in libsmime3.so libnssutil3.so libnss3.so libssl3.so; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.1d; done
and
for i in libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so ; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.0d; done
(I had done this previously.. so didn’t test.. sorry people).

Christian,
Please report back if the RPM works for you in Mandriva and if the same sym links need to be created (and also please note if you’re running GNOME / KDE) ..
Thank you.
@Kennon
Glad you found them helpful
@pete
No kidding eh.. it’s quick. I can’t wait until we get a build that has flash support (full flash support) so we can make sure it’s not fast because Flash Ad’s aren’t loading.
THANK YOU for your great job, Ben.
I like Chrome so much I can’t wait for Google official releases for OpenSUSE.
A have a question … is possible to see flash objects?

@Rafael
Currently there is no flash support.. But again this is a pre-beta (developer release)..
64bit version of a package (rpm and deb) contains 32bit chrome and all needed libraries in the subdirectory lib32.
For start chrome you should use google-chrome shell script instead of chrome.
It’s work fine on OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_x64
IMHO if you unpack manually 64bit version of package than can run chrome without libraries linking on 32bit OS
How can you claim that these are “openSUSE packages” if you’re
How can you claim that these are “openSUSE packages” if you’re required to tweak your system to make them somehow running?
I installed the x86_x64 RPM on my OpenSUSE 11.1 without a problem. Adobe Flash is not available as mentioned by other posters and there are some sites that cause it to crash (i.e. Google Documents). Otherwise, this thing has been blazingly fast!!!
But I have to fire up Firefox for the odd times when Chrome craps out on me. Otherwise, this is a great release and I hope it only gets better (and faster) with time.
