So i downloaded the tarball and unzipped it in the ~/chromium directory,
added depot_tools, did the gclient config

but when i run the first gclient sync --force with the ~/src directory
generated from the tarball i get this:

Error: Can't update/checkout /home/chromium/src if an unversioned directory
is present. Delete the directory and try again.

that seems entirely counter intuitive to the reasoning behind bootstraping
the tarball

and some help would be great!  :)

Hi Alize,

I've never bootstrapped so idk, but FWIW: this type of question is more
likely to be answered on the chromium-dev mailing list than on
chromium-discuss.

In general the best flow to download the source is probably:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsingNewGit

Cheers,
Gab

It's not counter-intuitive because bootstrapping tarball contains
versioned directories (you can check -- they all have .svn directory).
So you apparently mixed up some directories. Even in this email you
mention ~/chromium, ~/src and /home/chromium/src. Unless your username
is chromium /home/chromium/src is not the same as ~/src and is
definitely not a subdirectory of ~/chromium.
