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. +Any committer should be able to do a roll by running //tools/gn/bin/roll_gn.py +on linux or mac.
