Hi,

does anyone know of a way to get a link to download a single file from the chrome source?

i.e., I want to provide an easy link for some users diagnosing a bug to download this script https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/chrome/installer/tools/setup_timer.py but this page, cs, etc. all provide a text form of the file without a simple way to download the file itself (other than trying to copy-paste the text...).

Thanks,
Gab

The bisect builds wiki page links to http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromium.git;a=blob_plain;f=tools/bisect-builds.py;hb=HEAD for this purpose (i.e. a=blob_plain apparently, and git.chromium.org instead of googlesource)

That's the old / deprecated address.

It used to link to the svn address that Scott posted and then someone said that that's deprecated. It'd be nice if we wouldn't change git links so often. Do you know what the currently recommended way is?

So for now the current way is deprecated and the new way is in implementation..?


I'll be on the lookout for a PSA about the new way once it's implemented for the new repo.

Thanks!

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsefulURLs currently lists the gitweb one too for what it's worth.
