Updating chrome branch

[PeterO]

Hello everyone.

At the moment I'm trying to update my current chrome branch.
Current version is 33.0.1750.117.
I want to update to revision 33.0.1750.170.

First I need the chromium version equivalent:
https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/ gives 258314
http://src.chromium.org/svn/releases/33.0.1750.170/ gives 289471
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/releases/ gives 258339

Then I execute: gclient sync --revision=src@<nr> using one of the numbers.
But the branch remains unchanged.
What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Peter

To get Chromium revision for specific branch use this url:

Code: Select all

http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/branches/1750/src/chrome/VERSION

See http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedd ... ndBuilding for instructions on downloading/building release branches. Hint: You need to run 'gclient config' or edit the existing .gclient file.

But if I use 'gclient config' with the 170 revision and I do a 'glient sync' afterwards, it needs a clean 'src' folder, so that means a complete checkout!
Isn't it possible to update my current 1750 branch, revision 117 to revision 170 using: 'gclient sync --revision=src@<nr>'?

The tooling doesn't really support that. You would need to edit the DEPS file and change the src revision. If other DEPS have changed then the build may fail.
