|
| +This directory contains the hashes of tar.gz files uploaded to cloud storage.
|
| +Hooks in the DEPS files run "download_from_google_storage" to download these
|
| +tarfiles, and unpack them. These tar files contain a stable Dart SDK, which
|
| +is used to build the observatory and to run the test scripts.
|
| +
|
| +The hooks use the --auto-platform feature, so that only the SDK for the
|
| +current platform (linux, macos, or windows) is downloaded. This requires
|
| +the subdirectories to have the special names "linux", "win", and "mac", which
|
| +the download script is hardcoded to recognize.
|
| +
|
| +The linux SDK has had two extra dart executables added to the bin directory.
|
| +'dart-mips' and 'dart-arm' are executables compiled to run on mips and arm
|
| +processors, respectively.
|
| +
|
| +To upload new versions of these tar files, use the "upload_to_google_storage"
|
| +tool in depot_tools, and download the new stable SDKs from the dartlang.org
|
| +web page. The mips and arm executables must be copied from the machines that
|
| +build them, and stripped. There should be no need to update these tar files
|
| +for every new stable version of Dart.
