Tips and Tricks for Chromium Committers

Convert your non-committer checkout to a committer one

• Make sure you are not on a firewalled network to do these steps.
• Open your ~/.subversion/servers
  • Make sure you have store-passwords = yes
  • Under [groups] add chromium = *.chromium.org
  • Create [chromium] category and add username = [email protected] which will tell subversion to use your intel email as a login for all chromium repository (instead of the shell login).
• Run fetch --dry-run blink inside your blink/chromium checkout (not in src) to get all the svn commands needed displayed so you can copy/paste them.
• Run svn ls --non-interactive svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome
• Run svn ls --non-interactive svn://svn.chromium.org/blink/trunk

These two commands will ask you to log-in, you can get the svn password at https://chromium-access.appspot.com/, and no you can't change it (svn will store it for you).

• Go into the src/ of your blink/chromium checkout
• Run git svn init --prefix=origin/ -T trunk/src svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome
• Run git config --replace svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk/src:refs/remotes/origin/git-svn
• Run git svn fetch
• Go into the Blink checkout src/third_party/WebKit
• Run git svn init --prefix=origin/ -T trunk svn://svn.chromium.org/blink/trunk
• Run git config --replace svn-remote.svn.fetch trunk:refs/remotes/origin/master
• Run git svn fetch

You're done!
