Brad Nelson is planning to close the tree some time tomorrow night (Tuesday
28 April) to land the conversion of webkit to gyp-based build.
To get out from under playing constant catch-up with the rapidly-moving code
base, it's possible that we'll leave the tree converted even if there are a
small number--two or three?--of unit test failures. (By comparison, the
last attempt to convert webkit had about five unit test failures plus a V8
performance regression -- since fixed -- that tipped the scales in favor of
backing out the change.)
If there are any outstanding problems, we'll send out an announcement--and
could really use help making sure we weed out any known (and unkown)
problems as quickly as possible.
After we let the webkit conversion soak a bit, we'll schedule the conversion
of the chrome/ subdirectory itself, based on how things have gone with
webkit.
WHILE WE'RE STILL IN TRANSITION: please continue to add new webkit/ and
chrome/ files to *both* Visual Studio and the {webkit,chrome}.gyp files. We
have just recently caught up both of these components with the last few
weeks of added and deleted files. It helps immensely if we don't have to
keep tracking these down by hand.
If the planned timing is bad for you, let me or Brad know.
Thanks,
--SK
