I just pushed my WIP https://github.com/Atemu/robotnix/tree/drop-unmaintained-chromium if you want to continue that Appreciated! Looks nice. Wouldn't it make sense to just remove entirely ? If people want a source built chromium, then it could be another repo. :D | 12:49:45 |
 atemu12 | It doesn't hurt us and people could still use it to build an older version of android for something | 12:50:16 |
| atemu12 | We still have those around too | 12:50:24 |
| eyJhb | Oh true :) | 12:50:49 |
| eyJhb | It's always the pros/cons of such a project. How far back does one want to be compatible, and when to just expect people to checkout a specific revision of the sourcecode anyways. | 12:51:36 |
| eyJhb | Luckily Nix makes it easy to checkout a specific revision, and then just built that one :D | 12:51:47 |
| atemu12 | Yeah that's also true | 12:52:00 |
| eyJhb | (which is also why I just considered removing it :D ) | 12:53:01 |
| atemu12 | I like to keep deprecated stuff around until it causes actual maintenance issues though and drop it at that point | 12:53:04 |
| eyJhb | Makes sense :) if it doesn't bother then it can just live by itself :) | 12:54:40 |
| eyJhb | Running the update script is pretty not-fun | 12:56:39 |
| eyJhb | It seems like it doesn't take long to get rate-limited by Google | 12:56:48 |
| atemu12 | Nope | 12:59:33 |
| atemu12 | Local mirrors are quite helpful | 12:59:44 |
| atemu12 | I've also thought of using the mirror on github before | 13:00:09 |
| eyJhb | Is there a official mirror on Github for it? | 13:01:10 |
| eyJhb | BUt Github also rate limits at some point. But might be better | 13:01:21 |
| atemu12 | https://github.com/aosp-mirror/ | 13:01:36 |
| atemu12 | But I just saw that it was archived? | 13:01:44 |
| atemu12 | It still appears to receive updates though... | 13:02:17 |
| eyJhb | Yeah I saw that earlier as well | 13:02:51 |
| eyJhb | Not sure what that means, or how it works.. :D | 13:03:02 |
| eyJhb | Maybe new repos are not added to it? | 13:03:08 |
| eyJhb | I should just create a loop for this update script with a sleep in-between. | 13:42:40 |
| eyJhb | BUt I'm not sure it will ever finish | 13:42:51 |
| atemu12 | It's best to have a local mirror if you're working on the update script | 13:44:01 |
| eyJhb | Is that described anywhere in the docs? | 13:44:20 |
| atemu12 | A little, yes | 13:44:29 |
| atemu12 | Make sure you follow upstream docs too | 13:44:43 |
| atemu12 | LOS has a separate mirror manifest (or was it a branch?) for instance | 13:44:58 |
