* docs: add links to the issue tracker
Adding links to the issue tracker for existing issues and submission of
new issues makes it easier to do what is otherwise well described in the
issues doc.
There are direct links to the issue tracker in other introductory docs,
so I see no reason not to have them here, to facilitate access.
* docs: update issues TOC
* Changes recommended by malept
* docs: improve Windows build variable documentation
Documents an additional and possibly unclear variable, `DRIVE:`, in the example global variables for building with Windows
* docs: update formatting in build-instructions-windows.md to align with styleguide
* build: allow pulling in a later version of Clang
Due to a code-generation defect related to virtual method thunks in the
official compiler used for Chromium M76, it's necessary to build for WoA
with a later version of Clang. When running gclient sync, setting
ELECTRON_BUILD_WOA=1 in the environment will download a corrected
compiler which doesn't have this defect.
* docs: add a note about building for Windows on Arm
I think there's more to do here, and I'll continue to add to & update this documentation as I go through the process of upgrading node in the context of the GN build.
* build: update-external-binaries fetches sccache
* build: add util.add_exec_bit in scripts/
* build: use util.add_exec_bit in create-dist
* build: use util.add_exec_bit in update-external-binaries
this is needed to work around a bug in python's zipfile module that doesn't preserve the exec bit
https://bugs.python.org/issue18262
* fix: linting errors
* build: vsts, circleci use patched sccache
* build: always look for the x64 sccache
as it's the only arch we have it on
* fix: windows-specific errors in updaste-external-binaries
* fix: tyop
* fix: set SCCACHE_BUCKET, SCCACHE_TWO_TIER on circleci
* fix: syntax error in circleci yaml
* fix: keep churning
* chore: add tracer to file downloader
* docs: add sccache instructions for GN builds
* build: pull down the darwin sccache on mas builds
* build: use gn sync verbosely on circleci and vsts
* docs: copyediting
* build: remove unnecessary cache-dir arg
* docs: fix shell quoting in gn build instructions
* fix: invoke gclient without -verbose in circleci
* refactor: remove debug tracer
* fix: invoke gclient without -verbose in appveyor
* fix: invoke gclient without -verbose in vsts
* fix: pull add_exec_bit from correct source
* fix: remove 'SCCACHE_TWO_TIER' from CI scripts
* refactor: remove SCCACHE_BUCKET from ci scripts
this environment variable will be set via the CI UI instead
* refactor: clarify log message
* fix: set SCCACHE_PATH correctly for Windows CI
* build: add GIT_CACHE_PATH
The merge at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/tools/depot_tools/+/1105473 was to specify git cache entirely from the environment variable [and] removal of the general --cache-dir option from gclient
* docs: document GIT_CACHE_PATH in GN build
* fix: try to fix appveyor-gn env syntax
Updates the node upgrade doc to take path changes into account as well as to incorporate the new `get-patch` script which simplifies work significantly.
Devs can still locally override or add settings by adding lines after
the `import` statement in args.gn.
This will help make sure that everyone has a common set of build args,
and will allow us to update everyone's build args in git.
