Is there an archive of packages

I am looking for a previous version of chromium (ver 124). The previous archive links no longer work.

The archives hold old version of packages but they can be time-bound. If a key dependency such as icu in this case is updated, the older version of chromium will be to be rebuilt against that. You can either downgrade both or set the entire system to use the snapshot's date and keep everything frozen in time.

Question is why aren't you using the latest chromium.

I was using Chromium v 122 but this got broken by icu. I had chromium as a do not upgrade package in my pacman.conf so my cache has 122 and 125. I was just has I was hoping that 124 wasn't broken by icu. I need chromedriver and the electron website doesn't have the 125.0.6422 version so I was going to try to install 124 or I may wait until 126.

How can I install chromium 124?

If the repo package for the version you want was compiled against an older icu you have to recompile it against that version of icu. Are you certain that an up-to-date set of packages renders chromium broken for you? Is your mirror synced?

I wrote some python code that uses chromedriver, selenium, and chromium. Chromedriver and chromium have to match or they won't work together. Chromedriver (CD) at electron doesn't have a version that matches chromium in your repo. Idkw, since you have the current stable release of chromium. Electron is the only place that has CD for arm64. Since I have chromium as ignored to upgrade, it got broken with the icu upgrade. I just put the libs I needed from a previous package. Kinda hacky but it works and I will have to wait until, Chromium 126

I would compile but the depot-tools don't work with the 16k kernel. I went back to the regular driver and fetched chromium. Man it is a beast. I decided against compiling.
