AJ ONeal 9f28505af7 ref: delete unreachable upstream-fetcher modules
Stacked on the modifications PR. Now that no live code path references
the per-package fetchers, the shared HTTP/parsing helpers, the
in-process normalizer, or the example template, delete them. Pure
deletion — no behavior change.

- ~93 per-package <pkg>/releases.js fetcher modules.
- _common/{brew,fetcher,git-tag,gitea,github,github-source,
  githubish,githubish-source}.js shared HTTP/parsing helpers.
- _webi/normalize.js in-process normalization layer (cache files
  arrive normalized from webicached).
- _example/releases.js fetcher template for new packages.

The Go cache daemon (webicached) is now the sole producer of release
metadata; the Node process never makes an upstream request.

ChromeDriver https://chromedriver.chromium.org ChromeDriver: WebDriver for Chrome

To update or switch versions, run webi chromedriver@stable (or @v2, @beta, etc).

Cheat Sheet

WebDriver is an open source tool for automated testing of webapps across many browsers. ChromeDriver is a WebDriver created by the Chromium (Google Chrome) team - for Selenium and such.

You probably won't run chromedriver manually, but it must be installed for some testing frameworks.

Also, Chrome must be installed first in order for ChromeDriver to work.

How to Install Chrome on Linux

On Debian (and Ubuntu) Linux you should be able to install Chrome with dpkg and apt:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -y google-chrome-stable
sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

You may get an error like this:

chromedriver: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If so, try installing chromium-browser:

sudo apt install -y chromium-browser
sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

Other Notes

On Windows chromedriver.exe should Just Work™.

On macOS you may need to install XCode Command Line Tools with xcode-select --install.
