How to update chromium daily builds manually

Question

I've downloaded and ran the chromium from http://download-chromium.appspot.com/ to receive daily builds of chrome for ubuntu. But I can't find a way to manually update it.
Yes, there is a repository dedicated for it (https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) but it got discontinued.

I there a way to apply updates for chromium manually?

Solution

Install this ppa "Canonical Chromium Builds" team

  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-chromium-builds/stage
  $ apt-get update

Use build-dep action of aptitude before installing chromium-browser

  $ aptitude -v -V build-dep chromium-browser
  ..
  The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Upgrade the following packages:                                         
  1)    ..
  Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] y
  ..
  $ sudo aptitude install chromium-browser

This is for Xenial Xerus?

@andrew.46 OP does not appear to mention a version. The raw build that used to be available at link at Question could be run at most dists; see groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!searchin/…. The bounty is for how to install or run raw build of latest beta, dev or unstable version of chromium

@guest271314 OIC. Looks reasonably straightforward from these 2 pages: 1. Build deps - chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/build/… 2. Download and compile - dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code . I am working though and will probably be unable to catch your generous Bounty. Interesting question though...

This command crashing hard disk after update chromium in ubuntu 14.04. Let me know why that crash happening after update chromium my two laptops crashed because of this answer. Please accept answer after fully verified.

[guest271314]

@Prabu Not sure how the commands could cause hard drive to crash?

[Prabu]

That's what i couldn't understand something went wrong. I already tried this command with two laptops after that same crash is happened. That's why i need solution for this, atleast this will avoid another crash.

[guest271314]

@Prabu Did not crash, here. Though did not try at 14.04. How much disk space and RAM are available at laptops?

[Prabu]

RAM 4 GB and Hard disk 500 GB Free Disk space 100 GB

[guest271314]

@Prabu Why do you need to use aptitude -v -V build-dep at 14.04? Can you not use the ppa alone?

[Prabu]

We cannot install chrome using ppa alone. Thats why i tried with, $ aptitude -v -V build-dep chromium-browser Then why you mention aptitude command here, atleast you have to mention ubuntu version? Any problem with aptitude command please update.

@Prabu "We cannot install chrome using ppa alone." Are you referencing chrome or chromium? For chromium $ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser should install newest version of chromium
