| This directory contains the protocol buffers used by the standalone metrics |
| uploader. Those protobuffers are copied from the chromium protobuffers from |
| https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/components/metrics/proto/ |
| at 3bfe5f2b4c03d2cac718d137ed14cd2c6354bfed. |
| |
| Any change to this protobuf must first be made to the backend's protobuf and be |
| compatible with the chromium protobuffers. |
| |
| |
| Q: Why fork the chromium protobuffers ? |
| A: The standalone metrics uploader needs chromium os fields that are not defined |
| by the chromium protobufs. Instead of pushing chromium os specific changes to |
| chromium, we can add them only to chromium os (and to the backend of course). |
| |
| |
| Q: What's the difference between those protobuffers and chromium's protobuffers? |
| A: When the protobuffers were copied, some chromium specific protobuffers were |
| not imported: |
| * omnibox related protobuffers. |
| * performance profiling protobuffers (not used in chromium os). |
