Chromium and Chromium OS use a package of scripts called
depot_tools to manage checkouts and code reviews. This package
also includes the gclient utility.
gclient is a Python script to manage a workspace of modular dependencies that
are each checked out independently from different subversion or git
repositories. Features include:
- Dependencies can be specified on a per-OS basis.
- Dependencies can be specified relative to their parent dependency.
- Variables can be used to abstract concepts.
- Hooks can be specified to be run after a checkout.
- .gclient and DEPS are Python scripts. You can hack in easily or add
additional configuration data.
.gclient file: It's the primary file. It is, in fact, a Python script. It
specifies the following variables:
- solutions: an array of dictionaries specifying the projects that will be
fetched.
- hooks: additional hooks to be run when this meta checkout is synced.
- target_os: an optional array of (target) operating systems to fetch
OS-specific dependencies for.
- cache_dir: Primarily for bots, multiple working sets use a single git
cache.
gclient is necessary for checking out the flutter-engine source code, as the
release tarballs provided on the flutter-engine github are in no state to
compile. Google expects the use of gclient to download a source directory
structure suitable to build the Flutter engine.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
