I know that there are other priorities now, but could not you build a chromium pkg package? in the context of reinstalling all packages and ports, long-term chromium building awaits me. I have only 4 threads in the processor. and this is not a server xeon. it will take me all day. could the person responsible for building the parcels do it? greetings

The chromium and iridium ports fail to build here due to our package
build server being too old. A donation of a newer server would resolve
the issue.

Thanks,

I apologize for the tone of the last email. I could've worded that
better.

HardenedBSD's build infrastructure is aging. We need help with funding
more modern build equipment. The equipment we have just isn't
sufficient to build chromium and iridium.

I myself put in a decent chunk of change into HardenedBSD every month.
I cannot afford to put in any more. Funding for a more modern build
server must come from the community.

In January of this year, we laid out some pretty high goals for
donations. We've not yet reached 10% of those goals and we're seven
months into the year.
