Chromium mac build instructions say:
Expect the command to take 30 minutes on even a fast connection, and many hours on slower ones.
I've been running this for 1.5 hours hitting speeds of 30Mbps regularly. Not sure if this is slow or fast but I'm seeing a git Receiving objects that's been stuck on 63% for a while.
Now that wasn't so bad honestly. I chose the Artifact mode which apparently downloads pre-built binaries for the c++ code. This one is apparently better for front-end/ui work. I wanted to start simple and now after `./mach run` I'm looking at a working browser (with the sponsored links that started all of this).
Two hours including a VM install isn't bad overall. Maybe I'll tackle one of the first bugs I saw in Codetribute.
In the mean time, Chromium's fetch continues...
Hello `fetch chromium` my old friend.
STIILL running after four and a half hours. Looks like you're done downloading and now "running hooks"... wasm_fuzzer, that looks interesting.
BREAKING NEWS
Subprocess failed with return code 2!
47GB of data on disk and we've run out of space. Will have to pick this up later in the VM.
Thanks for playing!
Intresting. I like Mozilla's bootstrap.py in that it suggests and educates about a bunch of mercurial settings and extensions that I wonder about now for git.
And I can't believe I have a phabricator account again through Bugzilla. Feels like the last time I was in corporate dev, though I'm not sure the weekend hacker/student would enjoy yet-another-account.
