google-re2 [DONE]

[Greenie0701]

Status:

• Google's Re2 greatly depends on Abseil
• Abseil should be compatible for Win-ARM64 - need to explore re2 packaging

[Greenie0701]

Update : Got a working re2 wheel for Windows ARM64, next steps is to raise a PR.

[Greenie0701]

Looks like github of Re2 is a mirror, so they wont be accepting PRs in git, they accept it via Gerrit it seems. @khmyznikov I am not familiar with Gerrit, do you have any idea ?

[khmyznikov]

This is probably why this PR also stuck: grpc/grpc#39624 . Google uses own build systems. I guess we can only ask maintainers how to contribute properly.

[Greenie0701]

@khmyznikov thanks for the info, I have the changes ready probably if you got some info on this, please let me know.
This is actually frustrating in my opinion, then why there is a sections called PR/Issues in their mirror repo

[khmyznikov]

@lowkeyrossi yeah that's strange. Do you have a resource to try their instruction? https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Contribute#log-in-to-the-code-review-site

[Greenie0701]

Yeah @khmyznikov , I am following the same contribution guidelines they have given in their repo, will try it out and let you know else we can reach out to maintainers via mailing list.

@khmyznikov Finally I got working, here is the my PR in the gerrit

[Greenie0701]
