How to get the source code of the chromium of the specified revision

[Norimitsu Sugiyama]

I'd like to get the source code of the chromium 34.0.1847.xxx.

Could anybody show me how to do it ?

BTW, I'm not a committer.

I think that if you search into the chromium-dev history, this question has been asked (and answered) on a monthly basis in the last M months with M arbitrarily large. ;-)

(e.g., https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-dev/1iNTFLNjUQo/PXjWkHO9Lc4J)

BTW, the answer is:

gclient config http://src.chromium.org/chrome/releases/34.0.1847.9

gclient sync --jobs 16

I've just updated our docs

Thank you for your information.
Sorry, I couldn't find that information by myself.

Hi Primiano, really appreciate your answers.

Just one question: Will this answer remain correct even after the migration to git?

Sorry, another question :)  Will this work for older (svn-based) release branches after the migration?  I'd imagine the svn-related stuff will need to be kept in gclient for it to continue working, no?

Thanks!  -shez-

This is one of the big questions of the humanity:
Where do we come from? What are we? What will happen after the migration to git? ;-)

Joking aside, I don't really know but I'm curious as well about the answer.

I'm just pretty confident that in a way or another the code (including the past releases) will appear somewhere at some point. 

I realize that that is not really an answer to your question, or not the answer you were looking for. Let's wait for more illustrious people to shed light on our paths. :)

Please see related discussion in https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/topic/chromium-dev/1iNTFLNjUQo/discussion

tl;dr, the following should work for releases cut since Tues:

[assumes you already have a git checkout from http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code]

cd src

git checkout <recent release tag>  # e.g. "git checkout tags/37.0.2007.0"

gclient sync

Old releases will also be supported, but are not ready yet.
