Fellow pedestrians, My commit seems to have stuck at last, so we have now started tracking all our dependencies using git.
Apart from a much longer gclient sync when you make the switch in your checkouts, there should be no other visible changes to most people. Everything I said in my previous email about this topic is still true, so let me copy'n'paste mostly verbatim: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- This is a heads-up for a change that has just been committed to Crosswalk's master branch and will impact your local Crosswalk checkouts. Pull request #2141 has been merged, which means all repositories checked out as chromium-crosswalk dependencies (namely, everything **EXCEPT** v8-crosswalk, chromium-crosswalk, blink-crosswalk and ozone-wayland) will be renamed and re-checked out from git instead of svn. The total checkout time should not be too long, as the largest repositories are chromium-crosswalk, blink-crosswalk and android_tools, all of which already come from git. As I said above, the old SVN checkouts are not removed automatically: instead, they are moved to a separate directory called _bad_scm. Make sure to remove it if you do not need it. The main reasons for doing this are: * The Chromium project itself is working towards moving its canonical repositories to git, which means this would happen sooner or later. * It speeds up the checkout times in bots (particularly the ones producing canaries and betas), since we can cache all repositories. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- _______________________________________________ Crosswalk-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.crosswalk-project.org/mailman/listinfo/crosswalk-dev
