Hello gn-dev,

The source code for GN has moved to a standalone repository at https://gn.googlesource.com/gn, and Chromium now pulls in binaries built from that canonical location. There's no intended functionality change in GN's behavior with the move.

We hope this will make it easier for projects other than Chromium to use GN.

Hi,

Which directory becomes master repository? chromium/src/tools/gn or new gn repository?

I want to ask when I send patch, which repository is appropriate to send patch?

Hi,

Patches should be sent to gn.googlesource.com/gn now. chromium/src/tools/gn will be removed soon.

I see.

Also there is no OWNERS file in new repository?

Who are appropriate people asking review?

Thanks

Good question! There is no explicit OWNERS file (as there's no tooling to use such a file), but we should use the same OWNERS as are currently in chromium tools/gn/OWNERS for now. Those are: brettw, dpranke, sdefresne. (Maybe we should re-add an OWNERS file for clarity?)

The high-level goal wasn't really to change anything about GN's development, rather only to physically move the code, and avoid the need to pull the entirety of the Chromium repository to build/hack on GN. So if in doubt, do the same thing as when the code lived in Chromium. :)

(That'd be good imho.)
