Project:Chromium/How to make a Chromium tarball

Sometimes upstream's CI breaks and it's up to us to create our very own Chromium tarball for a given release.

Required: export_tarball.py

While this seems daunting it's not _that_ bad.

1. First get a copy of Depot Tools and add it to $PATH.
2. Then create a quick gclient config and modify it to only include the OSes we want (hint: we only want linux, but there are other options)
3. Check out the sources
4. Then run some post-checkout commands
5. Finally touch a file required for tests
6. Then generate some tarballs

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
export PATH="$(pwd)/depot_tools:${PATH}"

glient config --name src https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git@130.0.6723.91
echo "target_os = [ 'linux' ]" >> .gclient
gclient sync --nohooks --no-history
