A possible solution proposed on IRC was to remove .deps files that reference nonexistent files. 817282 1 krit 2013-01-26 16:23:00 -0800 Wasn't the problem that some IDL's were not touched, so that the rebuild of these files was not triggered? Can't we just touch these files to make it work for everyone for now? :P we did this in the past as well. 817283 2 thorton 2013-01-26 16:23:48 -0800 (In reply to comment #1) > Wasn't the problem that some IDL's were not touched, so that the rebuild of these files was not triggered? Can't we just touch these files to make it work for everyone for now? :P we did this in the past as well. That's a workaround at best... we should fix our tools! 1895924 3 ahmad.saleem792 2022-09-02 16:23:22 -0700 ap@webkit.org - Does Webkit use "DEPS"? 1895956 4 ap 2022-09-02 18:52:48 -0700 We don't. There are some imported with libwebrtc, but they are likely unused, and this bug certainly wasn't about those.
