[gentoo-dev] Electron external dependencies

Hello,

Is there any plan to make electron more modular package? Right now it
builds its own protobuf, mesa and v8 (and maybe much more). These packages
do exist in a tree, maybe it's possible to reuse them?

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I suggest you open a bug about this in our bugzilla [1].

Use something like "dev-util/electron uses bundled libs" as subject and
describe the issue briefly.

Thanks.

Electron is, essentially, modified Chromium.  We do the same unbundling as the 
Chromium ebuild for things that _can_ be unbundled.  Some dependencies cannot 
be unbundled for various reasons (modifications, reliance on internal headers, 
etc.)

A bug should still be filed and used as a tracker for upstream bug
reports to unbundle
