how can I build chrome old release tag 45.0.2454.85

[h4c...@gmail.com]

I have followed the guidance to build  release tag 45.0.2454.85 in ubuntu like this:

fetch --no-history chromium

cd src

git fetch origin tag 45.0.2454.85

git checkout -b local_45.0.2454.85

gclient sync --with_branch_heads --jobs 16

./build/install-build-deps.sh

gn gen out/Default/

autoninja -C out/Default chrome  

but when build finished, I open the out/Default/chrome，it's always the newest version of chrome 72, not the the tag I want: 45.0.2454.85.

can some one help me?

I didn't think you can combine --no-history with building an old
version... did all commands work without errors?

Oh:
git checkout -b local_45.0.2454.85

You are giving it a branch name, but you are not specifying the tag
you want to branch from, so effectively this stays on HEAD.
