5 The buildrunner is a script which extracts buildsteps from builders and runs the m locally on the slave. It is being developed to simplify development on and red uce the complexity of the Chromium build infrastructure. When provided a master name (with `master.cfg` inside) and a builder, it will either execute steps sequ entially or output information about them. 5 The buildrunner is a script which extracts buildsteps from builders and runs
