-Local files (not taken from upstream):
-README.chromium
-config.h

+Steps used to create the current version:
+(1) Download and unpack protobuf sources from
+    https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/master.zip .
+(2) Apply the patches in patches/ in order.  In all these cases, after
+    determining how to adapt the patch to the current protobuf codebase, you
+    should regenerate the patch for the next maintainer.
 
-A protobuf.gyp file has been added for building with Chromium.
-
-This code has been patched to support unknown field retention in protobuf-lite.
-See r62331 for the patch.
-
-This code has been patched to ensure that files in the target protobuf_lite
-do not include headers from protobuf_full. See r173228 for the patch.
-
-This code has been patched to make the target protobuf_lite a component so that
-targets that depend on it can be componentized. See http://crbug.com/172800 for
-details, and r179806 for the patch.

+    A brief description of each patch:
+  00: Add initial GYP/GN buildfiles, DEPS, OWNERS, and README.chromium.  You
+      will need to modify the README to include the correct revision, and modify
+      the buildfiles to reflect the actual files in the source tree, what they
+      #include, what warnings they trigger, etc.
+  01: Miscellaneous build fixes to make the upstream sources compile.  At this
+      point you should be able to build the protobuf_* and protoc targets (but
+      not necessarily anything depending on them).
+  02: Add unknown field retention to protobuf_lite.  This is a large and complex
+      patch which will likely require reworking to apply correctly.  Changes to
+      .pb.* files can likely be autogenerated once you apply the rest of the
+      patch and rebuild protoc; look at step (3) below and the
+      generate_descriptor_proto.sh script in the protobuf root directory for a
+      guide.  Based on http://crrev.com/62331 and http://crrev.com/173228 .
+  03: Convert protobuf_lite to a component.  Based on http://crrev.com/179806 .
+  04: Uninline various functions.  Based on http://crrev.com/307332 .
+(3) Generate descriptor_pb2.py using something like the following steps.  Make
+    sure you've regenerated your buildfiles and will build protoc from the
+    newly-modified sources above.
+  $ cd $SRC_DIR
+  $ ninja -C out/Debug protoc
+  $ cd third_party/protobuf/src
+  $ ../../../out/Debug/protoc --python_out=../python google/protobuf/descriptor.proto
+  $ cd ..
+  $ git add -f python/google/protobuf/descriptor_pb2.py
+  $ git commit
+(4) At this point you should be done, and able to successfully build everything.
