Old depot_tools

[Doron Tal]

Hi there,
Does anyone have maybe a depot_tools prior to march 2017 so i can compile the 2987 branch?

Many Thanks

You can clone it from that date using a revision from that date, search the log for a revision and use it when you clone.

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

depot_tools is maintained in a git repository -- you could try

git checkout master@{2017-02-28}

to get depot_tools from that date. I'm not sure if its auto-updating feature will interfere with your build or not, but the code itself should be easy to acquire.

Why do you need an older depot_tools? I thought the current tools
should still work, at least if you pass the no validation flag to
gclient sync...

I've previous built very old branches where modern-for-its-time
depot_tools did not work.

After checking out an old revision of depot_tools. Set
DEPOT_TOOLS_UPDATE=0 in the environment to prevent depot_tools from
updating itself. Besure to unset it after building the old branch, or
else builds on newer branches may not work.

Thank you so much!!!

It works now.

I took the current automate-git.py file, and edit it to change the call to "gclient sync..." to:

"gclient sync --disable-syntax-validation..."

Also, since I needed to compile the version with mp3 support, I also added the GN_DEFINES

set GYP_DEFINES=proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome

set GN_DEFINES=proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome

apparently the latest gclient use GN engine and not GYP

Thanks again,

Doron
