Publishes the complete source of the LGPL-licensed files that Kernel's browser build modifies, so recipients of the browser images can obtain the corresponding source of the modified library files.

Scope: only the LGPL-covered delta. BSD-licensed Chromium files, the media-layer changes, and the private build tooling are deliberately not reproduced here.

Files: 19, at their paths within the Chromium tree:

  • third_party/blink/renderer/core/frame/navigator.cc (LGPL-2.0-or-later)
  • third_party/blink/renderer/core/page/page.cc (LGPL-2.0-or-later)
  • third_party/ffmpeg/** (LGPL-2.1-or-later) — 17 files, including 4 generated shims added by the FFmpeg change

Provenance: every file was fetched at Chromium 155.0.8059.84 (FFmpeg tree at ba5e7eaea38b6a54157870e0085b2e8c75aa6bcb, the ffmpeg_revision in that tag's DEPS), then had the corresponding patches applied and was verified to apply cleanly. pins.md records both revisions.

Contents:

  • lgpl/source/ — complete post-patch files
  • lgpl/patches/ — the two changes that touch these paths
  • LICENSES/ — LGPL-2.0 and LGPL-2.1 texts
  • README.md — what is and is not covered, kept deliberately free of build instructions

Before this repo is referenced from the image notices: it needs to be public. A notice that points at a private repository does not give a recipient access to source.
