Since this directory is DEPS'ed in by some other repositories (webrtc, pdfium,
v8, etc), it should be kept as self-contained as possible by not referring
to files outside of it. Some exceptions exist (//testing, select
//third_party subdirectories), but new dependencies tend to break these other
projects, and so should be avoided.
Changes to //build should be landed in the Chromium repo. They will then be
replicated to the stand-alone build repo
by the gsubtreed tool.
Note: You can find all directories already available through gsubtreed in the
list of all chromium repos.
Contents
//build/config - Common templates via .gni files.
//build/toolchain - GN toolchain definitions.
Other .py files - Some are used by GN/Ninja. Some by gclient hooks, some
are just random utilities.
Files referenced by //.gn:
//build/BUILDCONFIG.gn - Included by all BUILD.gn files.
//build/secondary - An overlay for BUILD.gn files. Enables adding
BUILD.gn to directories that live in sub-repositories.
