| +# How to update the [GN binaries](gn.md) that Chromium uses.
|
| +
|
| +## Prerequisites
|
| +
|
| +You'll need a checkout of Chromium, and commit access to the
|
| +`buildtools/` repo. Check with scottmg, thakis, brettw, dpranke, or a
|
| +member of chrome-infra to get access to that repo.
|
| +
|
| +## Instructions
|
| +
|
| +_Hopefully there will be a script that does this all for you shortly._
|
| +
|
| + 1. cd to your Chromium checkout.
|
| + 2. Create a whitespace change in DEPS and upload it to create a "dummy" CL
|
| + 3. Run the following commands:
|
| + 1. git-cl try -b linux\_chromium\_gn\_upload\_x86
|
| + -b linux\_chromium\_gn\_upload\_x64
|
| + -r $GIT\_REVISION\_YOU\_WANT\_TO\_BUILD
|
| + 2. git-cl try -b mac\_chromium\_gn\_upload
|
| + -r $GIT\_REVISION\_YOU\_WANT\_TO\_BUILD
|
| + 3. git-cl try -b win8\_chromium\_gn\_upload
|
| + -r $GIT\_REVISION\_YOU\_WANT\_TO\_BUILD
|
| + 4. Wait for the try jobs to finish.
|
| + 5. If they all ran successfully, copy the digests from the tryjob build
|
| + log output into `src/buildtools/{mac,linux32,linux64}gn.sha1` and
|
| + `src/buildtools/win/gn.exe.sha1` as appropriate.
|
| + 6. Upload a buildtools CL with the updated digests and get it reviewed
|
| + and committed. Make sure you note the revision of GN that you built
|
| + against in the commit message.
|
| + 7. Go back to your "dummy" CL w/ the change to the DEPS file in src/
|
| + and update the buildtools revision to your newly-committed
|
| + buildtools change.
|
| + 8. Get that reviewed and landed in Chromium. Make sure you note the
|
| + revision of GN that you built against in the commit message, along
|
| + with the revision of buildtools that you're rolling to.
