Try all of these commands! If the doc is not adequate, send patches to fix them. Features are:. Dependencies can be specified on a per-OS basis. Dependencies can be specified relative to their parent dependency. Variables can be used to abstract concepts.

The drawback is you have to update the revision number s constantly, what we call deps rolls. Contributing code is done the same way as in other Chromium repositories. If for some reason you wish to disable this auto-update behavior, either:. Note: If you aren't using either of these helper scripts e.
