Hi everyone, we've worked with Google to make sure that the way they ship Chrome meets our requirements for third party software inclusion. Appdata file which was the last missing piece is now shipped with the beta of the next version, so I think it's time to propose the Workstation Working Group that we add the Google Chrome repository to fedora-workstation- repositories.
Reasoning: Google Chrome is the most popular web browser and perhaps third party software Fedora users install the most and now we would allow them to install it from a Fedora-curated list of 3rd party software.
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

I'd really like to see the draft https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_proposal actually finished and a final version approved before we start implementation like this.

That's up to the workstation working group to decide. By this proposal I'm letting them know that Chrome will be soon ready to meet the requirements stated in the current draft. I suppose they will review it when they're ready which I assume includes the final version of the guidelines.

That's fair — I just don't want to hitch up the cart before we even know if it's being drawn by horses. :)
Ok, so I went over the proposal today and tried to resolve the few remaining TBDs and remove comment style comments. Hopefully it is now in a state where we can finalize it.

No perhaps about it, it's the #1 thing people install with gnome-software even including all the free software we enable by default. For instance, it's 50% more popular than gstreamer-openh264 and twice as popular as gimp...

Richard, do you have this data somewhere I could look at?

Sure, I'll send it to you offlist as it's slightly sensitive.
