OpenJS Foundation Collaborator Summit, Berlin, 2019

A

So I guess I can just start because.

A

A

A

A

And I found the stick to really express it for the approach that doe has for the current doses of this year. So this is the issue is social? Some has been there for three years. Nothing has happened since then, and the reason nothing has happened is that, because it's complicated so no first thing. First physical system that uses.

A

If you used to use doing that for three years ago and.

A

The drum years have no actually still.

A

A

Continued to build, but you'd, actually tests against note in our continuous integration, which means we have to find a way to film gauge without upgrading our own and like updating our little two funnels, because we stopped doing that, but still make sure that we can still build. No and another thing to this issue is that genes, the gene team from that willing to grow in their scope, supporting anything else to show you. So the mix is kind of not nice to switch over to change.

A

So what we do it, where I think what we used to do in the ages. We have to stay in called build. It was GN and his name is Philip yay Christian into a second degree and would build the rest of their own, which is a tool chain and different, whistle sound good and then meddling at the ending pose together and work well for us for some time, but it breaks often and when it breaks I, give you the one who has to shuffle around see how.

A

Fine I said well. We think this solution turns out that electron actually already ported no TG n, because electron uses known as one of these electron uses, chrome and chromium.

A

So electron was forced to actually come up with Gentiles for known and I was thinking, hey, maybe I can just take it and he works. But now there was quite a bit of things missing. So.

A

June second free nice comparative, because this is just a huge like Tyson object, all that dr. Parrs GN is actually the same syntax.

A

The from here is that at a Christian, France a very incomplete it doesn't have like a full target or knows executable. There's nothing was tests, it's not like you can just build it and it works on a box, and one of the issues is also.

A

A

A

A

From my perspective, the our journey.

A

So currently does this must a fork.

A

Anybody is welcome to take a look there, so the whole thing is mostly just a couple of scripts. A couple of built-up GN files and June I censored GN o was about were that was when I was able to achieve from this. Is that the whole thing no continuous integration going a lot faster? I.

A

Sees it works on linux mac windows? Not that much, because I still haven't gotten one use to work.

B

A

The candles that there's this thing called double bill, which makes album a lot faster, so actually the little that macro Pro within five minutes, so I also want to talk about pansies.

A

One of the changes I made is about managing dependencies for no sir, for everyone who already work is chromium or gate that, if you want us to set up to it, like two thousand poetry versus things that you have to do is define which.

A

Sort of yeah just one line like where it comes from and want them and I'm actually embed them directly into one for ICU or.

A

A

As you can see, those heating and Miller are just dependencies are often struggling, so the poor. It sounds just a bunch of scripts and it doesn't actually include the.

B

A

But for VA or no or next year, they're the specifies the text when you get them, and so, if you want to create.

A

The and then you add you can sync it with an automatically called the right version of the a you: don't have to care about like compost, so the result is that it raises no bill, never party. So it's easier happy be a letter because all you have to do is to change that. Well, it's also easy to sync with upstream. No, because no, it's just another dependency.

A

It makes it very easy for us to have to be a team to test against note with changing versions, because.

A

Once again, this game build understanding, tribes are three tiny times are undefined if you're sending cards are and because they existed like the configurations for the bill, for those sanitizers. Are you, and also so maybe to sidetrack? Double bill is a way to speed up compiling a building by just merging individual, smaller files into bigger ones.

A

Because they are and I haven't, spent the time to dig into.

A

And like combining the stuff from community and completed the.

A

This is strengtheneth.

A

Social future and I'm thinking- maybe we kind of extreme this- that's a secondary, consistent alongside ship just to make it easier to maintain not sure whether the system.

A

Personally, I like it, because it makes things hear things like upgrading easier one.

A

Oh sweetie ste that not a lot of people support to which GM is supported and one of those ending things in my current context, there's not like another good implementations for building right now, I'm just doing the it doesn't support by General Assembly.

A

C

There any chance, thank you, yeah.

A

C

Chance that the GM team will broaden their support plans.

A

C

That would be a much better solution from.

A

C

I agree, but for North core it could be a much better, much much better solution. So I am if there is anything in fact, we can do as node to make a case for it. I see statement.

C

You know as access to form a question we can. You know we can work on that. It is just that it seems to me, especially considering the electron use case. Having a single little system for not God would be way way, more maintainable and less. You know wasting work cycles on things that should not. We should not waste our time.

A

When I make sense for us to like not the default one, but those abstain, because.

A

B

A

A

Well, I guess I needed the way. There are no money talks. I could do to be built this using Japan. There's I, don't think, there's a new upgrade path here, because if you move expectations you can we have all those you cannot repeat them different get them so I don't know here. You have pushed install scripts.

B

It's the last year when I.

B

Seem like the major blocker, so I.

A

B

To the electrons.

B

Life, it seemed like the major blocker or switching over note for would probably denote WebKit, because it's the Nazi structure, thing works, obviously I mean well. We don't mean to worry about native models as much because don't use the same build system and they keep using Jim at least driver for now. So I'm not sure.

A

B

If you ask Shelley- or she might know, okay yeah.

A

Like anything in that area subtract so last time I talked to her. She was happy that I'm doing it, but she didn't tell me anything about it. I'm.

B

Sure they like taunting, is not deserving to do this to go so yeah I.

A

Also, have sugar.

A

So one of the things I'm still doing here here is that building nations.

A

B

A

Still built using all I'm doing, there is to refer to the to the years against risk.

A

And that's also one of places that doesn't work with us, because we just don't have the correct key chains without just four points, and one nice thing about GM is actually that part of the dependency management you have to get the tool chain and to like to share configuration. This is dependencies, so you always know that it will go because it just brings its own we'll check with it.

A

Of course, that means that, and just to have it as part of building.

B

One my tools for gypsy is to be able to consume.

A
