This is an external dep to V8 that we'll have to pull.
Main BUILD.gn: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/third_party/abseil-cpp/+/refs/heads/main/BUILD.gn

I probably won't have time to work on this in the near future.

[targos]

I disabled the canary update GitHub action. It won't work until this is done.

Is this likely to block V8 9.5 for Node.js 17?

[targos]

No, this is blocking V8 9.6

[richardlau]

I've opened node-core-utils PR to add abseil to the fetched V8 dependencies on V8 updates: nodejs/node-core-utils#565

Right. It re-enabled the job as it seems V8 doesn't use absl anywhere after this revert.

[targos]

Closing as this didn't show up again after almost a year.
