To avoid conflicting IDs between Alloy (which uses cef.pak) and Chrome (which uses chrome_100_percent.pak) the cef/LICENSE.txt file is now included in both cef/libcef/resources/cef_resources.grd and chrome/app/theme/chrome_unscaled_resources.grd with different ID values. The cef.pak file currently contains both CEF-specific resources and Chrome resources that are already included in the default *.pak files distributed with Chrome. In the future we should remove this duplication and just distribute the same *.pak files as Chrome for the majority of resources.
There may be instances where CEF requires changes to the source code for Chromium, Blink or third-party projects that are either not desired by those projects or that have not yet been merged into the source code versions of those projects used by CEF. To address this situation the CEF project adds a patch capability as part of cef_create_projects[.bat|sh] build step. This patch capability works as follows: 1. The CEF developer creates one or more patch files containing all required code changes and places those patch files in the "patches" subdirectory. 2. The CEF developer adds an entry for each patch file in the "patch.cfg" file. 3. When building CEF from source code the patch files are applied by the patcher.py tool via the cef_create_projects[.bat|sh] build step 4. When updating Chromium the patch_updater.py tool is used to update all patch files. See https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/ChromiumUpdate.md for more information about the update process.
