It's useless to have N versions of the same library on your system. I prefer that my favorite distro takes care of updating one particular library if there is a security bug than having to wait for google to take care about it. It's what is done in gentoo: http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2010/08/www-clientchromium-now-uses-system.html http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2010/08/www-clientchromium-no... Currently, it uses the system libraries for: • bzip2, • codesighs, • cros, • icu, • jemalloc, • lcov, • libevent, • libjpeg, • libpng, • libxml, • libxslt, • lzma_sdk, • molokocacao, • ocmock, • pyftpdlib, • simplejson, • tlslite. As TODO, there is still zlib due to an issue during compilation. It would also be great to have V8 as a different project so that it could be used outside of chrome with much less pain.
