The saga of trying to build the monster that is Chromium for Android, reproducibly, all from source:

gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues… (Bromite, Chromium degoogled)

gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-… (Unobtainium, Chromium all open source, all from source)

guix manages to build ungoogled-chromium for GNU and that's hard enough, but for Android it's even trickier. Part of the problem is as usual to disentangle the Play Services dependencies.

For now it is, indeed, unobtainable.

To even almost-succeed you need over 4 GiB virtual memory for the linking, over 10 GiB disk space for the sources alone and over 30 GiB disk space for the build artifacts. If you are a bit starved for CPU or I/O you're looking at s 24+ hour build.
