As part of developing Fuchsia [1] (a new open-source operating system), we ported JavaScriptCore to run on Fuchsia [2]. At the time, our intent was to use this code within the Fuchsia source tree but not to make it available for developers writing applications for Fuchsia. However, recently, we've gotten a number of requests from customers who would like to use JavaScriptCore in their Fuchsia applications.
I'd like your advice about the best way to maintain JavaScriptCore support for Fuchsia. Here are some possibilities I can imagine, but we're open to other possibilities as well: 1. Maintain a fork of JavaScriptCore somewhere on googlesource.com that supports Fuchsia and instruct customers to obtain the Fuchsia port of JavaScriptCore from googlesource.com. 2. Maintain a branch of JavaScriptCore in svn.webkit.org that supports Fuchsia. 3. Maintain support for JavaScriptCore in the mainline of svn.webkit.org. For reference, here's the patch we applied to WTF and JavaScriptCore to enable Fuchsia support: https://gist.github.com/abarth/b4fc909d83be5133cd7a5af209757e96 This patch is based on webkit@206446, but we'd obviously rebase the patch onto top-of-tree before contributing it. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have that would help you provide the best advice. If you would prefer to communicate off-list, I'm happy to do that as well. Thanks in advance, Adam [1] https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/docs/+/master/README.md [2] Actually, if you look at https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/third_party/webkit, you'll see that we've ported WebCore as well, but this email concerns only JavaScriptCore. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
