### Exporting node's patches to v8 ``` $ cd third_party/electron_node $ CURRENT_NODE_VERSION=vX.Y.Z # e.g. v10.11.0 # Find the last commit with the message "deps: update V8 to " # This commit corresponds to node resetting V8 to its pristine upstream # state at the stated version. $ LAST_V8_UPDATE="$(git log --grep='^deps: update V8' --format='%H' -1 deps/v8)" # This creates a patch file containing all changes in deps/v8 from # $LAST_V8_UPDATE up to the current node version, formatted in a way that # it will apply cleanly to the V8 repository (i.e. with `deps/v8` # stripped off the path and excluding the v8/gypfiles directory, which # isn't present in V8. $ git format-patch \ --relative=deps/v8 \ $LAST_V8_UPDATE..$CURRENT_NODE_VERSION \ deps/v8 \ ':(exclude)deps/v8/gypfiles' \ --stdout ``` When upgrading to a new version of node, make sure to match node's patches to v8 by removing all the `deps_*` patches and re-exporting node's v8 patches using the process above.
