If there are any unresolved problems with -your change, the next person will be blocked. - - - From the buildtools directory, make a branch, edit and upload normally. - - - Get your change reviewed and landed. There are no trybots so landing will - be very fast. - - - Get the hash for the commit that commit-bot made. Make a new branch in - the Chromium repository and paste the hash into the line in //DEPS - labeled "buildtools_revision". - - - You can TBR changes to the DEPS file since the git hashes can't be reviewed - in any practical way. Submit that patch to the commit queue. - - - If this roll identifies a problem with your patch, fix it promptly. If you - are unable to fix it promptly, it's best to revert your buildtools patch - to avoid blocking other people that want to make changes. - ________________________ ADDING BINARIES MANUALLY |
