I followed the API tutorial and created my keys. Sync is working for me now with the latest build by passing my API info at runtime as noted in the README.

Another question I have now is why aren't we building native client into chromium? If some folks don't want it, is there a way to package it separately?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

Actually, the chrome 'sync services' aren't available because the Pkgfile in
opt/chromium doesn't build with api keys. You can generate/build with these keys
using the following instructions[1]. I believe there's also an option to provide
the keys at runtime. That should fix your problems with syncing.

As I note in the README, for versions greather than 23.x.x.x they restricted or removed support for unkeyed requests, so unless you have set up your API keys some of the functionality of Chromium (e.g. “Sign into Chromium …”) may stop working altogether

So the implication then is that this was broken on Google's end rather than
some issue with the crux build?

Not sure why they wouldn't just harvest my info on crux just as easily as
on other platforms. Is anyone running into this on non-crux builds of
chromium?

I never believed it necessary to hardcode API keys in the port since CRUX is not a binary distribution and this can be done without problems in runtime by environment variables.

The easiest way is to create your own API keys following the notes[1] in the README and add them for example to your ~/.bashrc

$ cat >> ~/.bashrc << __EOF__ GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret __EOF__

In any case, today I will update the port again. ATM I'm building Chromium 52.0.2743.82 which includes 48 security fixes.
