Tracking repository for Chromium

Standard Operation Procedure

  1. Download a source archive of Chromium from https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/. Normally the URL is https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-$VER.tar.xz, replacing "$VER" with the version to be imported, like 127.0.6533.88.
  2. Switch to the tarball branch (git checkout tarball), then remove all files and directories in the working tree, including the hidden one, except the .git directory.
  3. Extract all files from the archive, then move all files and directories, including the hidden one, from the chromium-$VER directory to the working tree (usually achieved with tar --strip-component=1 -pxvf chromium-$VER.tar.xz).
  4. Recursively remove .gitattributes files, .gitignore files, .gitmodules files and .git directories except the one in the top-level (find . \( -name .gitattributes -o -name .gitignore -o -name .gitmodules \) -delete; find . -name .git, note that .git directories have to be manually removed).
  5. Update the index using all files in the entire working tree (git add -A), then create a new commit with message of "chore: import v$VER" (git commit -m "chore: import v$VER").
  6. Create a lightweight tag with name of "v$VER" (git tag "v$VER").
  7. Push the tarball branch and the tag just created to the remote (git push; git push --tags).
  8. Create a new branch with name of "aosc/v$VER", pointing to the current HEAD, then switch to it (git checkout -b "aosc/v$VER").
  9. Apply all needed commits and/or patches.
  10. Create a lightweight tag with name of "aosc/v$PKGEPOCH%$PKGVER-$PKGREL" (git tag "aosc/v$PKGEPOCH%$PKGVER-$PKGREL"). If any of these variables equals zero, omit the related section and the corresponding separator. For the definition of these variables, refer to autobuild4.
  11. Push the aosc/v$VER branch and the tag just created to the remote (git -c "push.autoSetupRemote=true" push; git push --tags).
  12. Prepare patches for the ABBS tree (git format-patch "tags/v$VER..tags/aosc/v$PKGEPOCH%$PKGVER-$PKGREL").
