Description

Many projects, big and small, use Chromium as a base to build products that range from browsers to web-based or hybrid web/native applications. These projects need to build their "hooks" in the Chromium code base, make modifications and either contribute them upstream or maintain a downstream fork up-to-date.

This session would be a place to share the different architectures, techniques, tips, etc. to maintain Chromium downstream.

Agenda

  • Introduction
  • Why downstream?
  • Typical problems
  • Measuring downstreams
