My 2c on the topic is that trying to do multi-arch during a project early days is bad.
Usually during the project boostrap one needs to go and try different solutions, often rewrite some code and architecture before it matures to a nice design and if you have multiple platforms to support then you end doing that for all the platforms, that takes time and hurt iterations to get a better final design. It tends to be better to finish in one platform and then port to other systems. Of course this is given that engineers are not naïve enough to fall in some traps... from my experience the Crosswalk team is free of that kind of engineers :-D -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri Intel Open source Technology Center > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Sanchez-Palencia, Jesus > Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 6:03 PM > To: Oliveira, Caio; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Crosswalk-dev] Suggestion: disable Windows trybot > > Hi, > > I would prefer that the trybots were faster and reliable, but since > I don't see that happening anytime soon I'm all-in for disabling the > Windows Trybot for now. > > > Best regards, > jesus > > > ________________________________________ > De: [email protected] [crosswalk- > [email protected]] em nome de Caio Marcelo de > Oliveira Filho [[email protected]] > Enviado: segunda-feira, 16 de setembro de 2013 17:32 > Para: [email protected] > Assunto: [Crosswalk-dev] Suggestion: disable Windows trybot > > Hi, > > I would like to propose we disable the Windows trybot. > > - We are not focusing on Windows platform at the moment. > - Windows trybot sometimes takes >2h, and it has been impacting our > work cycle > considerably. > - Many patches reach the point of "Windows only" fixes, that are due > to platform > specifics.
