forked from chromium to use git submodules instead of gclient
This directory contains hashes of build tools used by Chromium and related projects. The actual binaries are pulled from Google Storage, normally as part of a gclient hook.
This directory also exists as a stand-alone git mirror at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/buildtools/. That mirror exists so that the shared build tools can be shared between the various Chromium-related projects without each one needing to maintain their own versionining of each binary.
ADDING BINARIES MANUALLY
One uploads new versions of the tools using the 'gsutil' binary from the Google Storage SDK:
https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil
There is a checked-in version of gsutil as part of depot_tools.
To initialize gsutil's credentials:
python ~/depot_tools/third_party/gsutil/gsutil config
That will give a URL which you should log into with your web browser.
Copy the code back to the command line util. Ignore the project ID (it's OK to just leave blank when prompted).
