As a few of you know, I've been trying to build a stable version of chromium for a month now. The problem is the DEPS file of the 195 branch is outdated so it has wrong dependencies. I could update the dependencies until chromium builds, but I would like to use the exact same version of every dependency than Google, since I chose chromium for my project (an internet kiosk prototype) because it leaks less memory and it's more secure, which are very important things for public computers with long uptimes. So having stable dependencies it's important for us.
Anyway, I opened this issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23038 and maruel tells me that somebody is working on the alternative solution proposed in one of the comments, so thanks. But given that the you are producing those automated DEPS for the 4.x branches but not for the 3.x stable branch, I'm starting to think that this isn't gonna happen in the current release cycle and I'll have to wait for the 4.x stable release, which again, is understandable cause I'm sure there are pretty solid technical reasons. So I'm wondering, whether in the meantime you could offer some kind of temporal fix for those of us in my same situation. For example, committing to the branch the DEPS used by google as "DEPS.internal". That way I can take a look, ignore the google specific stuff and make my own DEPS. I don't think it would take you more than 20 seconds per stable release (if I'm right in my assumptions about the nature of the problem) and it would be very appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
