SPEC FILE:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/biswasab/chromium-vaapi/master/chromium-vaapi.spec
Description: Chromium-vaapi is an open source web browser powered by
webkit(blink) with video acceleration enabled. Video is accelerated using libva
and vaapi which not only increase the overall battery lifetime but also enable
smooth High Definition videos on extremely weak platforms(If supported). This
build of chromium browser seems to work with Intel, AMD and some older Nvidia
GPUs with nouveau driver and firmware from the binary driver. The video codecs
that can be accelerated can be determined by vainfo from libva-utils.
Why this package is not eligible to be included in Fedora?
Proprietary codecs such as h264 and others.

Upon testing the binary, libatomic doesn't get automatically installed with my
chromium-vaapi. So I have added it as requirement later. I'm thinking of adding
conflicts with the chromium package as they both uses the same profile can
might create issues. Now everything works as expected. This is my first
rpmfusion package after I was contacted by Nicolas(kwizard). I wish to keep on
improving the package. I also seek sponsor as I'm not a Fedora sponsored
packager nor an RPM Fusion sponsored packager. Thanks.
